About the job
Join UIG Power Transmission & Distribution as a Trainee Site Engineer and become an integral part of our Overhead Line and EHV Underground cables teams operating throughout England and Wales, and Scotland.
This predominantly site-based role requires flexibility as you will work in various locations and may be away from home for extended periods. While you will primarily be on-site, you may also work from home or your closest Wood office based on business needs. A foundational understanding of the development and execution of multi-million-pound projects is advantageous, as is experience in a construction environment or familiarity with NGED, SSEN, SPEN, and other cabling transmission and distribution network operators.
Your Role:
In this position, you will report directly to the OHL Construction Manager and gain comprehensive knowledge of site engineering. You will assist in coordinating site management teams, including foremen, linesmen, and subcontractors, while also engaging with clients and third parties. Your responsibilities will include managing the onboarding and site induction processes as part of our initiative to enhance workload capacity across overhead lines (OHL) and EHV UG Cabling. This role supports the UK government’s roadmap to 2030 and the transition to a net-zero economy.
