• Use Asta Powerproject / Primavera P6 / MS Project to track progress and drive delivery
• Monitor quality — implementing ITPs, managing inspections and ensuring adherence to specs

Commercial & Procurement Support

• Work on a high-profile, well-resourced substation project
• A supportive team and clear progression opportunities
