The Visual Impact Provision project in Eryri National Park aims to reduce the visual impact of National Grid’s overhead line across the Dwyryd Estuary from Minffordd to Llandecwyn.

Stakeholders have agreed that the best way to achieve this is to remove a section of this overhead line and replace it with electricity cables buried in a tunnel underground. It represents a major opportunity to conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and environmental heritage of this precious landscape of Eryri.

The role involves leading and managing the High Voltage (HV) Cable and HV Plant subcontractors, ensuring compliance with all relevant requirements.

Manage the HV designer and subcontractor design activities and deliverables to ensure they align with the project schedule and requirements.

Serve as the technical lead for HV works on the project.

Track and report design input and output deliverables to the Project Director and Engineering Manager as required.
