Requirements Manager

We are looking for a Requirements Manager to play a pivotal role in a major infrastructure delivery team. This is a contract-based position located in the Glasgow area, supporting a secure, and high-impact infrastructure programme.

This role requires flexibility in working arrangements—while remote working is supported, you must be prepared for varying on-site requirements. For example, some weeks may involve being on site full-time, while others may require minimal presence. The nature of the project means that your availability must align with stakeholder needs and the demands of the role.

You will take the lead in capturing, analysing, and managing user requirements—ensuring that stakeholder needs are not only clearly understood but effectively embedded into the programme’s delivery lifecycle.

• As a Requirements Manager, you'll play a crucial role in identifying, documenting, and aligning stakeholder expectations

Requirements Management

• Develop and maintain the User Requirements Document (URD) and associated databases
• Track requirement changes and ensure robust version control
• Provide traceability of requirements through the project lifecycle
• Facilitate resolution of conflicting needs to align with strategic objectives
• Ensure full alignment with statutory, regulatory, and internal policy
• As a Requirements Manager, you’ll act as the central control point for requirement integrity and governance

Collaboration & Communication

• Drive open communication between internal teams and external stakeholders
• Present requirements in a clear, structured manner suitable for both technical and non-technical audiences
• As a Requirements Manager, your ability to translate complex inputs into actionable documentation is key to project success

Essential Skills & Experience

• Proven experience as a Requirements Manager within infrastructure project delivery
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams
• Familiarity with recognised industry standards in requirements and project management

Desirable Skills & Experience

• Understanding of safety, security, and environmental protection processes
