Job description

Overview

Laing O\'Rourke are proud to deliver the Margam Connection Project (Port Talbot) - a next-generation 275kV substation that will transform energy infrastructure across South Wales. Using cutting-edge SF₆-free switchgear technology, this project will slash emissions, support green steel production, and power thousands of homes and industries for decades to come.

This isn\'t just another project - It\'s your chance to shape the UK\'s energy future and be part of National Grid\'s £12bn Great Grid Upgrade - the largest overhaul of the transmission network in generations.

We\'re looking for a dynamic, forward-thinking logistics leader to orchestrate the movement of people, materials, and equipment on this landmark project.

You\'ll be at the heart of operations - the person who ensures everything flows seamlessly, safely, and sustainably.

What You'll Do

• Lead the construction logistics strategy - from cranes and hoists to traffic management and welfare facilities.
• Keep the project moving with smart delivery systems, access planning, and material flow solutions.
• Be the key link between the project team, local authorities, and stakeholders - building strong relationships that keep the project on track.
• Drive innovation and sustainability, embedding CLOCS & FORS standards and greener ways of working.
• Safeguard site operations with robust security, fire safety, and waste management systems.

Why You\'ll Love This Role

• Impact - Play a leading role in a nationally significant, future-ready infrastructure project.
• Innovation - Work with first-in-the-UK technology designed to cut carbon and modernise the grid.
• Challenge - No two days will be the same - you\'ll be solving complex logistics puzzles on a live, high-profile site.
• Career Growth - Be part of Laing O\'Rourke\'s wider portfolio, including major frameworks with National Grid across the UK.

What We\'re Looking For

• Proven logistics management experience in construction or infrastructure.
• Strong CSCS/CPCS accreditation (please provide details and expiry).
• A track record of delivering safe, efficient, and innovative logistics solutions.
• A collaborative leader who thrives on working with multiple teams and stakeholders.
