They are specifically looking for someone who can bring technical depth and confidence to a complex HV environment. • Initial 6-month contract with extension likely, • Project secured through to 2029, • Potential to move into a permanent position This is an excellent opportunity to join a nationally significant infrastructure project at an early stage and play a key role in shaping delivery.
