Your Responsibilities Will Include, But Are Not Limited To:
- Together with our Associate Directors and Directors meet with commercial and residential developers and/or landowners, and their supply chain including Architects, Planning Consultants and Project Managers, to understand development needs, both technical and commercial drivers, and develop proposals that meet their needs.
- Once appointed by a client then consult with the wider design team, but particularly utility undertakers and other utilities, energy and data service providers to understand opportunities, risks and costs associated with our client’s development proposals and advise of these risks, costs and opportunities via meetings, sketches, presentations and reports.
- Maintain and enhance both client and design team relationships through regular reporting and communication. Develop utility designs directly and via third parties and coordinate (using our in-house Engineering and CAD Technicians as required), often to support a client’s groundworks tender, whereby tender and contract drawings will be developed.
- Procure the services of specialist utility and multi-utility contractors and undertakers by developing scopes and specifications as part of a wider Employers Requirement document using drawings and other documents as required. This might be new connections related work, early utility enabling works, or likely both.
- Manage the delivery of critical utility enabling and new connection works often alongside third-party Project Management and Cost Consultancy Practises.
- Report back to our client on progress and issue any relevant instructions to contractors.
- Lead utilities progress meetings as required to progress the works.
- Review as-constructed data and closeout or reconcile final costs.
- Using timesheets understand your impact on project costs and profitability.
- Take ownership of the delivery of all the above through an intimate understanding of client needs and an understanding of project costs and profitability.
- Mentor and develop more junior members of the team. Delegate simpler projects directly to junior members of staff and retain a watching brief so that they too begin to intimately understand client needs and expectations.
