Do you have experience in Power Transmission or National Grid projects?

Are you passionate about exemplary **Design Management**?

Do you want to help shape one of the biggest, most iconic infrastructure programmes in the UK?

**Then we want to hear from you.**

Laing O'Rourke is recruiting **Design Managers and Senior Design Managers** from **Civils & Geo** or **Electrical Engineering** backgrounds to support major power infrastructure works as part of **National Grid's Great Grid Upgrade** - a once-in-a-generation initiative to rewire the nation and accelerate the UK's transition to net zero.

Our current opportunities are based across England and Wales, with key locations including project sites in **Hertfordshire, Letchmore Heath Substation,** and hub offices in **Birmingham** and **Dartford**.

**THE OPPORTUNITY**:
You'll lead the design delivery of a major power infrastructure project - playing a pivotal role from early-stage planning through to delivery. Working with client teams, technical experts, in-house design leads, and project delivery colleagues, you will help deliver design solutions that are robust, innovative and assured.

This is a chance to work at the heart of the UK's low-carbon energy future - on a programme that spans substations, overhead lines, and new grid connections.

**WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING**:

- Leading pre-construction design coordination and planning
- Acting as the interface between commercial, construction and design teams
- Driving technical excellence through robust design management processes
- Ensuring design output is fully reviewed for **buildability, safety, compliance and maintainability**
- Coordinating information flow across all project stages
- Promoting innovation and continuous improvement in design methodologies
- Contributing to a culture of collaboration and engineering excellence

**WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR**:
✔ Experience managing design from concept to completion
✔ A degree in Civils, Electrical Engineering, Building Services, or related discipline
✔ Power Transmission or Infrastructure sector expertise - or transferable skills from complex engineering projects
✔ A problem-solving mindset and a commitment to high-quality delivery

Don't meet every requirement? If you're passionate about energy infrastructure and design excellence, and have relevant experience, we'd love to hear from you.

**WHY LAING O'ROURKE?**:
As a delivery partner on the **Great Grid Upgrade**, we're helping to modernise the UK's energy system for a sustainable future. With over 150 years of experience, we bring certainty, ambition and technical excellence to every project we deliver.

You'll be joining a team where innovation, collaboration and impact come together.
