Client-side infrastructure delivery | Capital works | Operational estate | Multi-project environment
Tilbury | £45,000 – £48,000
This is a client-side infrastructure position within a live port environment, delivering a diverse portfolio of civil and infrastructure projects ranging from small reactive repairs through to multi-million-pound capital schemes.
One week you may be overseeing a pavement repair. The next, you could be managing elements of a £50m container terminal upgrade. You will look at marine tower structure, conveyor installation or heavy-duty quayside infrastructure.
If you have experience within a port, airport, local authority, highways, utilities, rail or similar operational infrastructure environment - this is the type of role you will thrive in.
Your responsibilities will include:
Support and lead the delivery of multiple concurrent infrastructure and capital works projects across the estate, ensuring safe, compliant and cost-effective outcomes.
Managing projects from concept through to completion
Preparing technical specifications and tender documentation
Procuring and overseeing framework contractors
Managing project budgets, valuations and variations
Coordinating stakeholders across operational teams
Overseeing CDM 2015 compliance and reviewing Construction Phase Plans
Inspecting works and maintaining accurate project documentation
Supporting design modifications using AutoCAD
Balancing reactive works alongside planned capital schemes
