• Identifying opportunities for standardising TW designs, ensuring they are effectively integrated into the design delivery process.
• Working closely with the Learning and Development team to integrate temporary works into onboarding and competency training.

The Temporary Works Design Manager will play a critical role in ensuring the project is delivered to the highest safety and quality standards, and will collaborate with teams across the organisation to mitigate risk and ensure seamless execution.

To succeed in this role, you will need:

• Extensive experience in Temporary Works design and implementation, particularly in major projects such as tunnelling and deep excavations.
• Professional qualification in civil or structural engineering, ideally chartered status.

• Strong team management skills and the ability to coordinate resources effectively.
• A proven track record in contract and budget management, as well as experience working with external suppliers and contractors.
