This once-in-a-career opportunity places you at the heart of a nationally significant scheme with far-reaching environmental and social impact.
As Utilities Lead, you will take strategic and operational ownership of all utility-related activities across the programme. This position will oversee end-to-end utilities planning, delivery, and stakeholder engagement across multiple work packages and delivery areas.

• Develop and manage procedures for working around utility assets, ensuring safety, efficiency, and protection of third-party infrastructure.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with utility asset owners, including but not limited to ENWL, Cadent, BT, and United Utilities.
• Identify, plan, and manage all utility diversions or mitigation works required for the permanent works.
