A Tier 1 infrastructure contractor is one of five construction partners on National Grid's £9bn Great Grid Partnership.
This role leads its substation package on a transmission reinforcement scheme, from enabling civils and HV cabling through to commissioning.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
You'll own delivery of a new 400/132kV grid supply point and extension works at two existing 400kV substations, from mobilisation and enabling works through to energisation and handover.
You'll hold safety, quality, programme and cost together, run NEC contract administration and the risk register, and lead the site team and supply chain across civils, cabling and HV installation.
You'll hold the National Grid relationship day to day, working the outage, consent and landowner constraints that set the real programme on a rural set of sites.
The role is site-based four days a week, with National Grid's reinforcement due to be fully operational by 2030.
ABOUT YOU
- You already run substation or HV projects for a transmission owner, DNO or Tier 1 contractor and want a whole scheme of your own
- You're happy on site four days a week, and you live within reach of North West Wales or are ready to make it work
- You want Great Grid Partnership work on your CV at the point a scheme moves into construction
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- Senior Project Manager experience on substation, HV cable or major energy infrastructure projects
- Delivery across enabling civils, HV installation and commissioning, held together rather than as separate packages
- NEC3 or NEC4 contract administration in practice, including early warnings, change control and compensation events
- Leadership of site teams, subcontractors and supply chain on or next to live assets
- Commercial grip on budgets, forecasting, cost control and risk
- Desirable – working knowledge of National Grid standards and processes
- UK right to work. No visa sponsorship
