SCOPE OF ROLE

You will supervise the day-to-day delivery of civil works within Highways and within substations, with a strong focus on ducting and cable installation and the associated jointing and substation works. You will keep every activity on the ground in line with JSM/IDNO/DNO standards, safety rules and programme requirements.

This is a hands-on site role. You will run the works face — briefing gangs and subcontractors, controlling permits and points of isolation, checking quality as it is installed, and reporting progress to the project manager every day.

· Identify site risks and hazards, stopping work and escalating where standards are not met

· Keep site records up to date — diaries, timesheets, permits, as-builts and material records

· Support testing, commissioning and handover, including snagging and close-out documentation

· Strong organisational skills, including accurate site records and daily reporting

· High attention to detail and safety awareness, with experience of high-risk works in live environments
