About the role

Due to being awarded the Major Programme Partner (MPP) and the Asset Renewal Partner, Costain have an exciting opportunity for a Project Manager in order to support the successful delivery of the baggage handling facility within Terminal 2 under the Heathrow H7 framework, working within a constrained, highly sequenced programme.

Costain is the Major Programme Partner (MPP) and the Asset Renewal Partner (ARP) for Terminals 1 and 2, two of six major programmes of work that Heathrow has committed to deliver within the H7 quinquennium.

Within the MPP framework, Costain is the Principal Contractor and Principal Designer for the T2 Baggage Programme (T2BP), which is a £700m+ complex baggage and infrastructure programme.
