About the role

As owners of Wales and England’s electricity transmission network we are responsible for the decarbonisation of the energy system.

Essentially, you’ll ensure all site‑based construction activities delivered by our principal contractors are efficiently managed in accordance with National Grid policies and procedures. You’ll administer the duties of ‘Client representative’ with a keen eye on safety, environmental, sustainability and the quality of the installation.

You’ll also be required to support NG site teams to ensure CDM regs are met, provide support when ordering plant and equipment, undertake regular safety audits/walks and hold coordination meetings with all parties on site during project delivery. In addition, you’ll complete ‘Site Visit Reports’ or facilitate site visits with designers.

This role covers projects in the Central region with travel to sites and the ability to stay away essential. You will ideally be based in the Midlands area.

What you’ll need

• Project Management skills, including management of risk for delivery of projects to scope, time, cost, quality, safety and security of supply.
• A proven track record in electricity (or comparable) industry construction, with previous experience of project site management.
• Good understanding of Safety and Environmental legislation and practices, and CDM regs and quality management systems as supervisor under NEC.
• Client Representative experience.
• SSSTS, SMSTS, IOSH or NEBOSH qualification.
• Full driving licence.

What’s in it for you?

• A competitive salary between £47 442 to £60 176 pa + Benefits + Company Vehicle
• 26 days annual leave plus 8 statutory days.
• The option to buy additional or sell holiday days.
• Generous contributory pension scheme – we will double‑match your contribution to a maximum company contribution of 12%. Overall 18%.
• Financial support to help cover the cost of professional membership subscriptions, course fees, books, exam fees and time off for study leave – relevant to your role.
• Access to flexible benefits such as a share incentive plan, salary sacrifice car and technology schemes, support via employee assistance lines and matched charity giving to name a few.
• Family care benefits including a back‑up care service for when your usual care arrangements fall through (six paid days each year as standard with the option to purchase further days).
• Access to apps which support health, fitness and wellbeing.
