As an Engineering Manager, you will play a crucial role in ensuring compliance and bolstering our technical credibility with new and existing clients. Your responsibilities will include leading engineering delivery across multiple projects, ensuring timely preparation of quality deliverables within the allocated program and budget.

The Role
Reporting to a Senior Engineering Manager, you will be an established engineering manager with substantial experience of delivering HV cable design solutions and demonstrated leadership and coordination of a mixed team including electrical, civil and CAD resources to deliver successfully on time. This role will coordinate all aspects of HV cable design and communicate closely with internal construction teams and our external client teams. You will be a key member of the team shaping the next phase of the team’s development and significantly impacting the future growth of the business. This opportunity will allow you to enhance your project management skillset and coordination capabilities across both cable and civil team delivery outcomes and not just only in your area of expertise. In terms of career progression, you can advance to the Senior Engineering Manager role and eventually reach the Head of Engineering level.
