Imagine working at the heart of major projects, managing connections across the SPN area, and taking ownership of every aspect from initial enquiry to post-investment appraisal. You'll play a pivotal role in ensuring successful pre and post contract management, consistently exceeding customer expectations. As you develop your skills, you will liaise with asset management to obtain connection information, produce compliant quotations, and collaborate with delivery partners throughout the design and programme phases to deliver innovative solutions for new connections.
