• Supply Chain Management: Engage with key equipment suppliers and subcontractors to secure competitive pricing and terms.

• Proven background in the UK power, energy, utilities, or substation engineering sector.
• Deep technical familiarity with 11kV, 33kV, or 132kV substation and grid connection projects.
