- Review contractor and consultant design proposals, ensuring compliance with relevant specifications, standards, and guidance.
- Undertake a Project Engineering role, ensuring engineering governance is followed and coordination is maintained across all engineering disciplines.
- Support the project team by managing engineering risks and identifying opportunities to enhance project outcomes.
- Act as the technical point of contact for overhead line engineering and represent engineering at strategic, commercial, programme, and site meetings.
- Promote and manage safety through the implementation of CDM procedures, ensuring compliance with organisational, HSE, and industry regulations.
- Work closely with Engineering and Project Management teams to identify and mitigate engineering and quality risks.
About You
- Strong technical capability in overhead line development, design, and specification, or demonstrable transferable experience.
