Key responsibilities will include developing project plans, programmes, budgets and risk registers; coordinating internal teams, consultants, contractors, suppliers and relevant stakeholders; and monitoring progress against agreed milestones and performance targets. You will oversee design reviews, tendering and contract administration, manage variations and claims, and provide clear reporting on costs, risks, quality, health and safety and delivery status. The role will also involve supporting asset management and utility optimisation initiatives, identifying opportunities to improve operational resilience, sustainability, compliance and whole-life value.

The successful candidate will be organised, proactive and committed to delivering high-quality outcomes while maintaining a strong focus on safety, sustainability, customer needs and continuous improvement.
