Job Description
People In Power is a boutique engineering recruitment business that works exclusively on providing highly experienced people into the Power, Transmission & Distribution market across the UK, building on 10 years of industry knowledge.
Offering a full recruitment solution to Asset Owners, Consultancies, EPC's, OEM's, and ICP's from inception to final handover. Our exceptional service and comprehensive understanding of the sector has allowed us to build an unrivalled network of clients and candidates.
We have exclusively partnered with a Tier 1 EPC that delivers complex utility and power projects across the UK.
Our client is looking to secure an experienced Engineering Project Manager to support the delivery of major utility infrastructure and power projects.
This role is responsible for managing the engineering and civil aspects of cable route projects from feasibility through to construction. Working closely with design, pre-construction and operational teams, you will develop practical engineering solutions that can be safely and efficiently delivered on site.
A significant part of the role involves assessing cable route options and identifying suitable engineering solutions for challenging crossings and constrained environments, including highways, railways, rivers, tunnels and other third-party infrastructure.
The Role
You will take responsibility for the engineering coordination of utility projects, ensuring designs are practical, compliant and aligned with construction requirements while managing technical risks, programme and stakeholder expectations.
Key Responsibilities
* Manage the engineering delivery of cable route and utility infrastructure projects.
* Lead feasibility studies and route assessments to identify the most suitable construction methods.
* Develop engineering solutions for complex crossings using techniques such as trenching, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and other trenchless methods.
* Coordinate project programmes, technical deliverables and engineering milestones.
* Ensure engineering designs are practical, buildable and compliant with relevant standards.
* Act as the link between design, pre-construction and construction teams.
* Review engineering designs and resolve technical issues before construction begins.
* Support the successful transition of projects from planning into delivery.
* Identify engineering risks and develop mitigation strategies.
* Provide engineering support during construction.
* Monitor site activities to ensure compliance with quality, safety and technical standards.
* Manage engineering changes and provide technical guidance to delivery teams.
* Coordinate third-party contractors and specialist suppliers.
* Liaise with clients, designers, utility companies and statutory authorities throughout the project lifecycle.
* Attend technical meetings and provide engineering updates to project stakeholders.
* Build effective working relationships with internal and external project teams.
* Support project budgets, resource planning and programme delivery.
* Monitor engineering progress and report against key milestones.
* Contribute to the management of project risks, variations and technical change.
Your Experience
You will have experience delivering civil engineering projects within the utilities or power sector and be comfortable managing technical challenges from concept through to construction.
* Civil engineering within utility infrastructure projects.
* High Voltage (HV) or Extra High Voltage (EHV) cable route engineering.
* Cable routing, feasibility studies and route optioneering.
* Complex crossings using HDD, trenchless construction, tunnelling or conventional trenching methods.
* Working with DNOs, IDNOs and other utility network operators.
* Coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams across pre-construction and delivery.
* Managing projects within NEC or similar contract environments.
* Strong understanding of health, safety, quality and environmental requirements.
This is an excellent opportunity for an engineering professional looking to play a key role in the successful delivery of major power and utility infrastructure projects.
