About The Role
The Lower Thames Crossing is one of the UK’s biggest infrastructure projects. On the Roads North section, we’re delivering everything from micro-tunnelling to major bridges and large-scale road realignments — all of which depend on well-planned, well-managed temporary works.
What you’ll be doing
* Lead and support a team of Temporary Works Coordinators.
* Make sure procedures are clear, followed and actually work on site.
* Act as the go-to person for technical advice on temporary works.
* Work closely with designers and delivery teams to ensure buildability.
* Plan and track temporary works designs, briefs and approvals.
* Review more complex (Category 3) designs with confidence.
* Keep an eye on performance, standards and opportunities to improve.
* Carry out audits and help raise the bar across the project.
* Support training, mentoring and competency development.
Who We’re Looking For
You’ll need to be technically solid, but also able to work with people — influencing decisions, simplifying complexity and keeping things moving.
You’ll Likely Have
* A degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
* Around 5–10 years’ experience in temporary works.
* Experience stepping into a senior or lead coordination role.
* A strong understanding of BS5975, CDM and industry best practice.
* The confidence to challenge where needed and back it up technically.
* SMSTS and a valid CSCS card.
It Would Help If You Also Have
* CITB Temporary Works Coordinator qualification.
* Experience on major infrastructure (highways, tunnelling, etc.).
* Experience with audits, assurance or managing competency.
Benefits
* Smart working, giving you more flexibility such as staggered start and finish times, with up to 40% remote working where roles allow.
* 25 days paid annual leave (pro rata).
* Family friendly policies which include 28 weeks full pay for maternity/adoption leave and four weeks full pay for paternity/partner leave.
* Pension, share incentive plan, volunteering leave, recognition schemes and more.
