Role PurposeWe are seeking a highly organised individual to work in tandem with the electrical and civil design managers to lead the end-to-end programme delivery management of design across multi-disciplinary workstreams. Ensure design packages are planned, coordinated, reviewed, approved, and issued for approval or for construction on time, to scope, to budget, and to the required quality.
Own the design schedule and governance over multiple design projects, manage design delivery interfaces with external service providers, manage submissions to DNO's / TSO's for statutory approval, to clients for review/acceptance, and to site for IFC—maintaining configuration control and traceability of all changes.
At the end of the project, ensure that all drawings are received back from site ‘as built' undertaking quality control prior to drawings and documents being updated and rejecting those as built mark up drawings not meeting the acceptable levels of quality.
