Working for a Tier 1 contractor delivering Energy and Power Schemes across the Central belt, Scotland. Perfect opportunity to transfer your skills into the Power sector, with applications welcomed from Civil Engineers in the following sectors:

  • Highways
  • Rail
  • Utilities
  • Aviation
  • Environmental & Flood defences

Salary: £100,000 – £120,000 basic

Package: Car or Car allowance, Bonus, Private Healthcare, Pension

Location: Glasgow

Working Pattern: 3 days a week on site / Office, 2 days a week from home.

Role Description

As a Project Director for the Scottish division, you will be the lead and the larger sites being released. You will work with the Pre-Construction team to develop the programme, gain sign off before taking the project on to site and through to handback to the client. You will manage the Client, Design Consultancies, Sub-Contractors and your own direct workforce. Although all the projects are within the Energy / Power sector, the focus is on the civil engineering aspects with a Technology partner providing the Sub Stations and associated equipment. You will lead the Technical, Commercial and Operations for the scheme with support from your Engineering Manager, Commercial Manager and Project Manager and their teams. You will need to drive the programme and understand potential risks and cost savings that can be achieved by a well-run project.

Day to day responsibilities will vary:

  • Supervision and oversight, directing both direct and indirect teams and supporting Sub-Contractors on site.
  • Review the project plans and specifications.
  • Work with the Commercial Manager, overseeing the overall project finances, including reviewing and managing the budgets to identify risks and opportunities.
  • Manage internal stakeholders and client expectations.
  • Report on project variations and risk mitigation on each project.

This is a hybrid role, but you will have full control over the project and manage it as you see fit. Some weeks may require your full attention on site, others may require a lighter touch, allowing time for reports, meetings and admin tasks.

Job Requirements

  • Formal qualification – HNC / HND or Degree in Civil Engineering
  • Proven project experience delivering a £10m+ project as the number 1 on site; this must be a heavy civil engineering project.
  • Full driving licence
  • Living in Scotland on a full-time basis.
