We are delivering a once-in-a-generation £1bn+ Overhead Line (OHL) infrastructure project. This is not just a build; it is a critical component of the UK's transition to Net Zero. As the Design Manager, you will be the bridge between conceptual engineering and physical reality, overseeing a complex 6-year program from preliminary design through to commissioning and handover.
Job Responsibility:
Lead the Interface: Manage the design evolution between internal engineering teams, specialist consultants, and the client (SPT)
DCO & Planning: Navigate the complexities of Development Consent Orders (DCO), ensuring all design changes remain within the parameters of environmental and planning constraints
Value Engineering: Identify and implement efficiencies in tower spotting, foundation design, and material selection
Digital Excellence: Drive the BIM strategy (ISO 19650), ensuring the 'Digital Twin' of the project is as robust as the physical assets
Safety by Design: Ensure CDM 2015 regulations are at the heart of every decision
Requirements:
Proven experience managing the design phase of large-scale OHL projects (132kV, 275kV, or 400kV)
A track record on major infrastructure projects (£250m+)-you understand the governance and reporting rigor required at this level
You have the stamina for a long-term program. You enjoy seeing a project through from the first sketch to the final conductor stringing
Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate complex technical risks into clear commercial or environmental impacts for non-technical stakeholders
Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK
