, working on high-value (£5m+) projects with DNOs, IDNOs, and major clients, including data centres and industrial users. This is a team that needs experienced people who can step in, take ownership, and deliver not theory, not potential. SCOPE OF ROLE

You’ll coordinate the design process, manage stakeholder interfaces, support early procurement decisions, and ensure projects are set up properly before and during delivery. This is not a pure design role; it’s about managing the process, the risk, and the programme
. You’ll report into the Delivery Interface Manager and play a key role in stabilising and driving live projects forward.
