About the role

At Balfour Beatty Power T&D, we're delivering some of the UK's most significant energy infrastructure projects. We are now looking for an experienced Temporary Works Coordinator (TWC) to join our team on the Skye 132kV Reinforcement Project, a major programme of works supporting the future resilience of Scotland's electricity network. Based at our Fort Augustus project hub, this is an opportunity to play a critical role in the safe planning, coordination and delivery of complex temporary works across a large-scale transmission project.

What you'll be doing


As the appointed Temporary Works Coordinator, you will take ownership of the temporary works process across the project, ensuring all activities are planned, designed, implemented and dismantled safely and in accordance with BS5975 and Balfour Beatty procedures.


You will:



  • Act as the primary point of contact for all temporary works activities on the project.

  • Coordinate Temporary Works Designers, Permanent Works Designers, site teams, subcontractors and client representatives.

  • Review and manage temporary works design briefs, ensuring site conditions and construction requirements are fully captured.

  • Ensure temporary works designs are checked, approved and implemented in accordance with relevant standards and procedures.

  • Maintain the Temporary Works Register and all associated documentation.

  • Issue permits and manage hold points, ensuring inspections are completed before temporary works are loaded, used or dismantled.

  • Identify and mitigate temporary works risks, ensuring robust controls are in place.

  • Monitor compliance through regular inspections, audits and engagement with site teams.

  • Promote best practice and provide guidance to project personnel on temporary works requirements.

  • Work closely with construction, engineering and subcontractor teams to ensure seamless integration between temporary and permanent works.


Typical temporary works on the project may include excavation support systems, formwork, crane and piling platforms, scaffolding, temporary roads, access solutions, temporary bridges, backstays, temporary steelwork and overhead line protection systems.


Who we're looking for


We're looking for a confident and collaborative engineering professional with proven Temporary Works Coordination experience within infrastructure, utilities, power, civil engineering or construction environments.


You will ideally have:



  • HNC/HND or degree qualification in Civil or Structural Engineering.

  • CITB Temporary Works Coordinator certification (or equivalent).

  • Strong working knowledge of BS5975 and CDM Regulations.

  • Previous experience operating as a Temporary Works Coordinator on major infrastructure projects.

  • Broad understanding of temporary works design, construction and implementation.

  • Strong health, safety and risk management awareness.

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

  • Ability to build effective working relationships across project, design and delivery teams.

  • Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office.
