A Tier 1 infrastructure contractor is one of the construction partners on National Grid's Great Grid Partnership.
This role leads its delivery planning on a new 400kV transmission scheme across the East Midlands, from early contractor involvement through to construction.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
You'll join a scheme of around 60km of new 400kV overhead line, two new 400kV substations and 66km of existing line upgraded, as it moves towards consent.
You'll build the delivery strategy, construction programme, cost plan and risk register, and feed constructability into the design and consenting work while it can still change the answer.
You'll hold the client and design partner interfaces, set up the team and supply chain, and take the scheme into construction once consent lands.
Construction is expected from 2029 with energisation in 2033, so this is a long-term seat with a clear line through to delivery.
ABOUT YOU
- You've run transmission or major energy infrastructure projects and want to shape one before it's consented
- You understand how overhead line and substation work fit together, even if your background is mostly one side
- You live within reach of Lincolnshire, Leicestershire or Northamptonshire, or are ready to make it work
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- Senior Project Manager experience on transmission, substation, overhead line or major energy infrastructure projects
- Development or ECI-phase experience in delivery strategy, programme, cost planning and constructability
- NEC3 or NEC4 contract administration in practice, including early warnings, change control and compensation events
- Leadership of multidisciplinary teams, design partners and supply chain
- Commercial grip on budgets, forecasting, cost control and risk
- Desirable - DCO or NSIP experience and working knowledge of National Grid standards and processes
