Network Coordinator

About the Role

Looking to be part of something bigger—something that offers challenge, growth, and long-term stability? As a Network Coordinator within our brand-new Network Operations Hub, you’ll be at the centre of one of the UK’s most high-profile infrastructure projects: the M25.

With 15 years of investment and development still ahead, this is your opportunity to join a project with a secure future—while playing a vital role in how we manage the UK’s busiest motorway network. You’ll work closely with delivery teams, contractors, and key stakeholders to ensure that road space is used efficiently, disruption is minimised, and operational excellence is achieved every day.

This is more than a coordination role—it’s a chance to shape real-time decisions, collaborate across multiple teams, and help keep millions of people moving safely and smoothly. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, solution-focused environment where your input matters and your career has room to grow.

If you’re organised, motivated, and excited by the idea of working on a legacy project with long-term impact, this is the role for you.

As a Network Coordinator, you’ll be at the heart of operations—making sure the M25 and surrounding network run smoothly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to road users. Your work will support strategic planning and real-time decision-making that keeps millions moving safely every day.

In this vital role, you will:

• Manage road space bookings from submission to approval, ensuring compliance with National Highways and local authority guidelines

• Review and monitor requests to ensure accuracy, regulatory compliance, and alignment with project timelines

• Collaborate with applicants and stakeholders to resolve conflicts, explore shared opportunities, and coordinate works across multiple teams

• Process permits, Traffic Orders, and special requests, maintaining full regulatory compliance at all times

• Work cross-functionally with internal teams, contractors, local authorities, and utilities to drive coordination and transparency

• Keep systems updated, accurately transferring data between internal and external platforms (NOMS and NEMS)

• Participate in coordination meetings, contributing to smarter planning and proactive solutions within the Operations Hub

• Support continuous improvement, helping to refine systems, reporting, and stakeholder engagement strategies

• Provide real-time operational support, responding quickly to urgent requests and ensuring road space is always optimised

 

Who We’re Looking For – Key Requirements

We’re looking for a proactive, detail-focused individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys working with diverse teams. To succeed in this role, you’ll bring:

• Experience working in a multi-stakeholder environment

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities

• Sharp attention to detail and confidence in analysing data to inform decisions

• Clear, professional communication skills across all levels and teams

• Resilience and adaptability in a dynamic, operational setting

• Familiarity with IT systems and scheduling tools

• Background in highways, transport, or network operations would be great

• Understanding of road space management processes, including National Highways permits and systems such as NOMS/NEMS

 

Behavioural Competencies 

• Inspiring: Champions curiosity and continuous improvement, role modelling change and managing risks to achieve project outcomes.  
• Energising:  Role models positive and energised project focussed attitudes towards   and continuous improvement. 
• Challenging: seeks and advocates improvements to add value and drive continuous performance.
