Trainee Site Construction Manager
1 month ago
Base Location:Shetland, Orkney, or Caithness
Salary:£23,422 per annum+ a range of other benefits to support yourfamily, finances, and wellbeing. Salary upon finishing the trainee programme is circa £33,000 per annum.
Working Pattern: Permanent | Full Time
Start Date: October2024
What is the Role?
Our Trainee Site Construction Management programme lasts for three years and combines work-based learning experience and formal training and workshops, including an SVQ in Construction Site Management.
This programme will develop your knowledge and experience to become a Site Manager. Whilst on the programme you will organise work on our project sites, making sure all tasks are completed safely, on time and within budget. Liaise with contractors, surveyors and builders to ensure a project is on track and there are enough staff, machinery, and materials to complete the job.
You will gain real hands-on experience, build an invaluable network, and develop a unique set of skills which will shape your career. Due to our size and diversity, we can offer you a structured yet challenging development programme where you'll have the support of the Learning and Development team and a business mentor to assist you in reaching your full potential. You will be assigned a Site Construction Manager (SCM) that will help manage your day-to-day activities on site, ensuring that you get the breadth of knowledge and experience to help you complete your training.
The programme will support your career development into a Site Construction Manager position taking responsibility for your own site. SSEN Transmission projects typically appoint a full-time site representative or Site Construction Manager onto each major site. They play a pivotal role in the team and act as a full-time on-site link between our contractors and the rest of the SSEN Transmission project team including the project manager. They also play an integral link with our operations team. Projects are typically construction of new, or modification to existing transmission voltage (132kV and above) assets including substations, overhead lines, and underground cables. This can include major civil works and buildings.
What do I need?
To be considered for this role, we would love you to:
- Have some previous experience working on an active construction site in any capacity, or alternatively have studied HNC Construction Management.
- Be highly organised and self-driven with the ability to manage your time well.
- Be flexible in your approach to work to maximise your chances of success, and you should be happy working alone or as part of a team.
- Be comfortable to spend some time living away from home whilst on different learning placements across SSE.
You will need to hold a full UK Driver's License or are currently learning to drive as there will be a requirement to travel to a number of our project sites.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept applications from candidates who have already achieved, or are working towards achieving a masters degree.
