The opportunity
Join a long‑term, complex new‑build programme in North Wales and lead the electrical installation package end‑to‑end. You'll own HSE, quality, commercial and project‑controls delivery; planning pre‑mobilisation, validating budgets, deploying labour and subcontractors, and driving schedule performance in a safety‑critical, heavy‑industrial environment.
What you'll be doing
* Pre‑mobilisation: prepare HSE Plan, Quality Plan, RAMS and ITPs; set up reporting structures and progress measurement.
* Programme & delivery: build and maintain an electrical package programme fully coordinated with overall milestones; identify workfronts; remove blockers to meet dates.
* Commercial & controls: validate budgets; track man‑hours vs norms, installed quantities and earned progress; produce monthly applications; manage cost/WIP and change.
* Change management: submit Early Warnings and Variations for scope growth; keep the client informed with clear cause‑and‑effect analysis.
* Procurement & subcontractors: lead tender evaluation/selection, place and administer subcontracts, forecast and manage performance through to close‑out.
* Quality & inspections: oversee installation quality, witness tests, maintain evidence packs and handover documentation to the client's standards.
* HSEQ leadership: manage project health & safety with the HSE Manager; ensure methods of work are current, efficient and compliant with company/client policies.
* Interfaces & reporting: chair internal weekly meetings; attend client progress meetings; issue daily/weekly/monthly reports (HSE / Procurement / Project Controls / Commercial / Quality / Engineering / Construction).
* People & organisation: set a clear structure, delegate effectively, and mentor junior/intermediate staff.
What you'll need

* Solid contractual knowledge (e.g., NEC / FIDIC) and confident client correspondence.
* Proven project‑controls competence: estimating, scheduling, progress measurement, cost control, change management, monthly applications.
