As a subject matter expert for National Grid, you will oversee the environmental performance of massive infrastructure projects that are rebuilding the UK’s power network. You will provide direct assurance and technical guidance to project teams and contractors, ensuring that high-profile construction works minimize ecological disturbance while meeting strict sustainability standards. Your daily ownership includes identifying environmental risks, capturing lessons from incidents, and fostering a culture of responsibility across the supply chain.
This role is critical because you are the frontline guardian of the environment during ‘The Great Grid Upgrade.’ By ensuring these major projects are delivered sustainably, you directly contribute to the decarbonisation of the energy system without compromising local biodiversity or resource efficiency. You bridge the gap between ambitious net-zero infrastructure goals and the practical, on-site environmental realities of large-scale construction.
This suits someone who possesses a solid background in infrastructure and thrives in a site-based advisory role. You should be a confident communicator who can influence contractors while maintaining rigorous technical standards across diverse geographic locations.
