We are investing in this role to respond to the growing importance of social value in procurement decisions, drive innovation and efficiency through community-focused outcomes, enhance our ability to shape coherent, impactful service offerings, and ensure our projects deliver lasting benefits to society.

Role offers the chance to be part of an exciting project shaping the future of UK energy, with the backing and development opportunities that come with joining Morgan Sindall Infrastructure. Morgan Sindall is an equal opportunities employer and has been accredited with the Positive About Disabled People 'Two Ticks' accreditation. We are also an Investors in People company.

• Lead stakeholder engagement and management across internal and external partners.
• Develop co‑created social value plans aligned with project and community needs.
• Deliver key social value activities, ensuring alignment with supply chain commitments.
• Monitor, evaluate, and report on social value outcomes and performance metrics.
• Collaborate with project teams to embed social value into core delivery.

Qualifications

• Essential: Demonstrable experience delivering social value in infrastructure, energy, or related sectors.
• Desirable: Experience in managing teams or leading cross‑functional initiatives.
• Strong understanding of social, economic, and environmental impact measurement.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Ability to work strategically while managing operational delivery.

Benefits

• Generous holiday entitlement with the option to buy five days.
• Flexible and adaptable working.
• Family friendly policies and work/life approach.
• Mentoring programmes and continuous learning support.
• Contributory pension scheme.
• Annual bonus scheme.
• Recognition scheme and long service awards.
• Car scheme and Private Medical Insurance (if applicable to role).
• We also provide the option to participate in our share‑save scheme; discounts including cycle to work and gym membership; a support and advice service for colleagues and their families, and more.
