About the role

National Grid is delivering one of the UK's most ambitious electricity infrastructure programmes, enabling new customer connections, supporting economic growth and connecting cleaner sources of energy to Britain's network.

• Supporting contract administration and NEC project management activities.
• Undertaking site inspections, monitoring contractor performance and resolving project issues.
• Producing project reporting, forecasts and governance documentation.

What you'll need

• Experience delivering construction, utilities, energy or major infrastructure projects.
• Strong understanding of project management principles across the full project lifecycle.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Knowledge of health, safety and environmental requirements within a construction environment.
• Experience managing contractors and working within multi-disciplinary project teams.
• Experience of NEC contracts is advantageous; however, candidates with experience working under other major forms of construction contract are also encouraged to apply.
• Experience within electricity transmission, utilities or other regulated industries is desirable.
• Full driving licence.

If you're excited by the opportunity to help deliver a brand-new substation project that will support the future of Britain's electricity network, we'd love to hear from you.

What's in it for you?
