  • Leading project teams including Construction Managers, Works Managers, Engineering, Quality, Environmental and Health & Safety professionals.

  • Working closely with the Construction Director and wider leadership team to ensure seamless integration with associated transmission infrastructure works.

  • Developing construction methodologies, programmes, risk assessments and delivery strategies.

  • Managing project risks, identifying opportunities, and implementing solutions to maintain delivery commitments.

  • Monitoring budgets, forecasting performance and ensuring robust commercial awareness throughout the project lifecycle.

  • Building strong relationships with key stakeholders, clients, suppliers and delivery partners.

  • Driving a culture of continuous improvement, accountability and high performance across the project team.

We're looking for a proven infrastructure delivery leader who can confidently manage large, complex civil engineering projects in challenging environments.


You will ideally have:



  • A degree, HNC or HND in Civil Engineering or a related discipline.

  • Significant experience delivering major civil engineering infrastructure projects, ideally within transportation, energy, utilities or heavy civil engineering sectors.

  • Experience managing multidisciplinary teams and multiple workstreams simultaneously.

  • Strong commercial awareness with a good understanding of NEC contracts and change management.

  • A track record of delivering projects safely, efficiently and to a high quality standard.

  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.

  • Experience managing subcontractors, supply chain partners and design consultants.

  • A valid CSCS Manager Card.

  • Membership of a relevant professional institution is desirable.
