About the role

At Balfour Beatty Power Transmission & Distribution, we're delivering the infrastructure needed to support the UK's evolving energy network. We're looking for a Project Engineer to join our growing team, supporting the delivery of major power transmission and underground cabling projects.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced engineer to play a key role in the successful delivery of complex cabling works, working closely with Project Managers, Construction Managers, site teams and supply chain partners to ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently and to the highest standards.

While our immediate focus is within the Lincolnshire and Peterborough region, you'll also have the opportunity to support projects across our wider UK Power T&D portfolio, helping to deliver critical infrastructure that will power the UK's future.

As Project Engineer, you'll support the planning, coordination and delivery of cabling and power infrastructure works from pre-construction through to commissioning and handover.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Coordinating engineering and construction activities across major cabling projects.
• Reviewing and implementing technical drawings, specifications and construction documentation.
• Supporting the safe delivery of works through the development and review of RAMS, permits and site documentation.
• Managing subcontractors and ensuring works are delivered in line with programme, quality and commercial requirements.
• Monitoring project progress, identifying risks and implementing effective solutions.
• Planning and coordinating labour, plant, materials and resources to achieve project milestones.
• Supporting project planning activities, resource-loaded programmes and short interval control processes.
• Maintaining accurate project records, reports and site documentation.
• Working collaboratively with customers, stakeholders and internal teams to ensure successful project outcomes.
• Promoting Balfour Beatty's Zero Harm culture and ensuring compliance with all health, safety and environmental requirements.

You will ideally have:

• Experience as a Project Engineer, Site Engineer or similar role within infrastructure, utilities, energy or power transmission projects.
• Experience supporting the delivery of cabling projects, including coordinating construction activities, subcontractors and site teams.
• Experience managing project risks, identifying solutions and driving successful outcomes.
• Strong understanding of health, safety and environmental requirements within construction environments.
• Flexibility to travel and work on projects across the UK as required. While this role is expected to support projects in the Lincolnshire and Peterborough region, candidates should be comfortable working within a nationwide project portfolio and staying away from home when project requirements dictate.

Ideally, you will also have:

• Experience with in the Power Transmission & Distribution sector.
• Experience of underground cable installation, cable route works or major utility infrastructure projects.
• A qualification in Engineering, Construction Management or a related discipline, or equivalent industry experience.
