- Coordinate site logistics, deliveries, and supply chain interfaces
- Assist in managing site activities to ensure safe and efficient delivery
- Liaise with subcontractors, suppliers, and client representatives
- Support implementation of SHEQ (Safety, Health, Environment & Quality) standards
- Contribute to risk assessments, HAZIDs, and constructability reviews
- Ensure compliance with CDM Regulations and site safety requirements
- Proficiency in AutoCAD and relevant CAD software (e.g. Civil 3D, MicroStation)
- Understanding of transmission & distribution or renewable energy projects
- Awareness of health & safety legislation, including CDM
- Good communication and stakeholder engagement skills
Experience & Qualifications
Essential:
- Experience on live construction or infrastructure projects in an engineering or supervisory role
- Practical understanding of site-based project delivery
- Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel
Desirable:
- Experience working on National Grid or DNO projects

- Exposure to substations, overhead lines, cables, or grid connections
- Progress toward or holding relevant authorisations (e.g. SR163, Competent Person, NSI8)
- Experience with UAV surveys, GIS systems, or digital field tools
Why Apply?
- Work with a forward-thinking and growing organisation in the energy sector
- Gain exposure across design, site delivery, and project engineering
- Be involved in high-profile UK infrastructure and renewable projects
