Roads Strategy Manager

The Roads Strategy Manager plays a key role in developing the vehicular components of the Expansion Surface Access Strategy (SAS), with accountability for defining, assuring, and coordinating highways and road related elements required to support the Development Consent Order (DCO) application. The role ensures that highways and transport modelling is robust, compliant with the Planning Act 2008 and EIA Regulations, and aligned with the expectations of statutory stakeholders, enabling a timely DCO submission while reducing delivery and examination risk.

Acting as the subject matter lead for roads and surface access, the Roads Strategy Manager translates DCO requirements into clear direction for technical consultants and modelling suppliers. The role also supports engagement with National Highways and local highway authorities, working collaboratively to agree modelling assumptions, mitigation strategies, and solutions that support both regulatory compliance and the wider expansion programme objectives.
