Offer description

About The Role

The Sizewell C (SZC) project will have a significant requirement for temporary works delivered across all portions of the project. The management of Temporary Works (TW) will be governed by a SZC overarching client procedure outlining how each organisation will discharge their duties in relation to the temporary works (refer to BS5975: 2024 clause 5.1.1.3). Each organisation will adopt their own procedures in accordance with the client procedure.

The Civil Works Alliance (CWA) will be responsible for delivering the civils scope across Earthworks and Enabling, Marine and Tunnelling and Main Civil Works sections. The CWA will deliver temporary works design in accordance with the SZC and CWA TW procedures through a combination of internal CWA and parent company design resources alongside framework suppliers.

The Temporary Works Design Manager will be responsible for managing CWA's Enabling Works and Earthworks design requirements by liaising with approved designers, coordinating all design activities with the Temporary Works Coordinators, and actively reporting progress to the Temporary Works Manager and the wider Temporary Works team. The role will ensure that design priorities are maintained to support successful and timely programme delivery.


What you'll be doing

* Assist in the management of the TW framework with parent company organisations/implementation partners by identifying TW design and capacity in the external market and working with procurement on a sourcing strategy and scope documents.
* Support evaluation of supplier TW competence.
* Chair design coordination meetings with consultants and ensure that suitable project management principles are applied to the allocation of design resources and delivery of design.
* Ensure delivery of design in accordance with TW procedure, implementing and monitoring performance of internal and external design delivery.

* Assess and assist the Temporary Works Manager in managing the competency of designers delivering design works for the project in accordance with SQEP and CDM requirements.
* Coordinate with the Learning and Development team to integrate temporary works into onboarding, competence/qualification requirements and training plans.
* When required, support the appointment of people for the management of temporary works (TWS/TWCs) by providing briefings on the temporary works design delivery processes.
* Support the development of a process for the management of risk to ensure a golden thread between risk management by the permanent works designer, risk management by the temporary works designer and the RAMS so that all residual risks are appropriately mitigated or managed.
* Remain aware of and communicate industry and project-wide health and safety updates to ensure they are understood and reflected within CWA TW design delivery.
* Coordinate with and support the commercial and finance teams in the commercial management of the framework contract with parent companies and external suppliers.
