Job Description

Costain has been appointed as Delivery Integration Partner by National Highways (NH) for delivery of the £240m improvement of the Simister Island M60/M62/M66 interchange (M60 Junction 18), north of Manchester. As Delivery Integration Partner, Costain will overhaul the busy junction involving complex traffic management to keep tens of thousands of vehicles moving whilst construction takes place.

The works consist of:

  • A new free flow ‘northern loop’ link road to take drivers directly from M60 eastbound to M60 southbound without exiting the motorway
  • M66 mainline southbound widening and southbound slip road realignment to allow for construction of the northern loop
  • A widened connector road from M60 northbound to M60 westbound – replacing the current single lane with two lanes
  • Adding an extra lane in each direction on the M60 Junctions 17 to 18 (increasing from 4 to 5 lanes) while retaining the hard shoulders
  • Upgrades to drainage, lighting, motorway technology, signage and signalling.

Due to continued growth the position of Foreperson has become available to join a large scale Highways project in Greater Manchester. As a Foreperson you will safely manage people and all operational activities on a small project ensuring HSQE, budget and programmes are met.

This role will cover the night works on the project.
