About the role

Balfour Beatty is currently recruiting an Engineering Manager to join the Power T&D team in Aberdeen, Scotland.

The main function of the role is to lead and manage Project Engineering Teams in the delivery of all design and engineering works associated with the scope of a construction project.

Background does not have to be within High Voltage Power industry, as construction design management and product development experience is transferable. Our stakeholders, clients, and engineering teams respect good quality leadership and the willingness to achieve the project goals.

Engineering Managers are expected to lead positive engagement with internal and external stakeholders to manage the scope, risks, and programme for the project.

This is an exciting opportunity for an energetic, passionate individual who has an interest in engineering and project management.

We are open to both full-time and part-time candidates (including job share) and offer a flexible working policy.

What you'll be doing

1. Lead the team of engineers in the design and installation of complex critical national infrastructure.
2. Work collaboratively with the engineering team to ensure that your portfolio of projects is delivered on time, budget, and specification to the highest quality and safety standards.
3. Coordinate with all the functions within Balfour Beatty, with an emphasis on providing the right engineering solutions both from a technical and value engineering perspective.
4. Identify and manage project risks, implementing the necessary mitigations at the Engineering Design phase to ensure the most successful strategy.

Who we're looking for

1. Degree level education in a relevant discipline.
2. Experience leading engineering teams in the delivery of design and build construction or installation projects.
3. Background in design, project, programme, or construction management.
4. Familiarity with the power industry is beneficial but not essential.

Why work for us

Day in, day out, our teams deliver some of the UK's most ambitious, exciting, and meaningful projects; developing, building, and maintaining the vital infrastructure that supports national economies and strengthens communities.

As if contributing to and supporting work that makes life better for millions wasn't rewarding enough, we offer a full range of benefits too. You'll have the freedom to shape the package that's right for you and your life. Here are some of our key benefits:

• Smart working, giving you more flexibility such as staggered start and finish times, with up to 40% remote working, where roles allow.
• 25 days paid annual leave (pro rata)
• Family-friendly policies which include 28 weeks full pay for maternity/adoption leave and four weeks full pay for paternity/partners leave.
