工程经理

Costain have a unique opportunity for an Engineering Manager to join our West Winch Housing Access Road (WWHAR) for Norfolk County Council project.

Costain has been appointed to design and construct the West Winch Housing Access Road (WWHAR) for Norfolk County Council (NCC). The project is in 3 stages

- Stage 1 will involve detailed design, early contractor involvement (ECI) and on-site investigations, including gaining approvals from stakeholders

- Stage 2 will be to construct and handover the works into operations

- Stage 3 will be to maintain the environmental mitigation and biodiversity nett gain planting

The project team will mobilise in Stage 1 to lead the design and ECI with a whole project lifecycle approach. The team will deliver a design that enables a Safe, Efficient, Right First Time construction and efficient handover into maintenance, for both NCC and NH assets.

The new housing access road will connect the A10 to the A47 to the west of West Winch. Works will include

- 2.5km of new single carriageway associated active travel routes and roundabouts forming access to new developments and onto the A10.

- A new structure over the housing access road and modification of an existing structure on the A47

- Management of groundwater to enable installation of the drainage

- Management of utility works

- Modifications to the existing A10 improve active travel

The NCC project will also include works to enhance the A47 near to Kings Lynn, requiring 800m of dualling of the A47, a new roundabout to connect to the housing access road and reconfiguration of the existing Hardwick Interchange – all National Highways (NH) assets.

Working directly under the Project Director as part of the Senior Management Team, you will:

- lead the detailed design to ensure design is delivered by the design teams, on time and to a high right first time standard, so designs can be approved by the relevant stakeholders without iteration, and in conjunction with the Construction Manager ensure said design is suitable for construction and that will be adopted by the asset owners.

- provide technical leadership and manage site engineering activities to ensure all elements are delivered safely, to the required quality, on time and within budget, all in line with the scheme design and associated highway specifications and in compliance with planning constraints.

- align the designer and sub-contracted contractor designed elements.

- Further develop the groundwater strategy to enable consents to be granted and works to be constructed

- lead a team comprising technical leads for managing design compliance and change, temporary works coordination and design, digital modelling and information management (BIM), materials management, quality assurance and handover.

- work alongside the site delivery and supervisory team and other disciplines - SHE, Stakeholder, Commercial etc.

- engage with the client team, including the Technical Advisor, NEC Supervisor as well as stakeholders from National Highways to foster good relationships and enable successful handover of the scheme into operation and maintenance.

- ensure all elements are delivered safely, to the required quality, all in line with the scheme design and associated specifications and in compliance with the planning conditions, environmental and stakeholder constraints.

- Provide technical engineering leadership and for all aspects of delivery.

- Ensure all works are carried out in accordance with the design information, planning constraints, relevant technical specifications and Costain Way guidance.

- Put safety above all else and lead by example, for example by ensuring temporary works are correctly designed, checked and implemented.

- Promote a Right First-Time approach to quality to avoid rework.

- Manage a team of technical design management, engineering and quality assurance staff, including TWC, lifting AP and electrical AP.

- Collaborate with other members of the project leadership team to ensure safe, efficient design, delivery and handover

- Provide planning and procurement support where required.
