Trainee Site Construction Manager
* Job Number: 551331
* Closing at: Mar 9 2025 at 23:55 GMT
Salary: £24,580 per annum + a range of other benefits to support your family, finances, and wellbeing. Salary upon finishing the trainee programme is circa £33,000 per annum.
Working Pattern: Permanent | Full Time
Start Date: August 2025
What is the role?
Our Trainee Site Construction Management programme lasts for three years and combines work-based learning experience and formal training and workshops, including an SVQ in Construction Site Management.
This programme will develop your knowledge and experience to become a Site Manager. You will organise work on our project sites, ensuring all tasks are completed safely, on time, and within budget. You will liaise with contractors, surveyors, and builders to ensure a project is on track and that there are enough staff, machinery, and materials to complete the job.
You will gain real hands-on experience, build an invaluable network, and develop a unique set of skills that will shape your career. Due to our size and diversity, we offer a structured yet challenging development programme where you will have the support of the Learning and Development team and a business mentor to assist you in reaching your full potential. You will be assigned a Site Construction Manager (SCM) to help manage your day-to-day activities on site, ensuring that you gain the breadth of knowledge and experience needed to complete your training.
The programme will support your career development into a Site Construction Manager position, taking responsibility for your own site. SSEN Transmission projects typically appoint a full-time site representative or Site Construction Manager onto each major site. They play a pivotal role in the team and act as a full-time on-site link between our contractors and the rest of the SSEN Transmission project team, including the project manager, and they also serve as a crucial link with our operations team. Projects typically involve the construction of new or modification of existing transmission voltage (132kV and above) assets, including substations, overhead lines, and underground cables, which may involve major civil works and buildings.
What do I need?
To be considered for this role, we would love you to:
* Be highly organised and self-driven with the ability to manage your time well.
* Be flexible in your approach to work to maximise your chances of success, and be comfortable working alone or as part of a team.
* Be willing to spend some time living away from home during different learning placements across SSE.
* Hold a full UK Driver's Licence, or be in the process of learning to drive, as there will be a requirement to travel to various project sites.
