This role is based within our Customer Connections Team. This is the department that connects customers — such as data centres, battery storage projects, offshore wind farms, transport networks and solar farms — to the electricity transmission network.
It’s a collaborative effort, and at any one time there are between 300-400 people working within the department. Their expertise includes: construction, project management, commercial, analytical, account management, communications, power system engineering and feasibility engineering.
The connections process is key to delivering the capacity needed for an efficient and renewable transmission network and we need to deliver an increasing number of highly complex and exciting new projects. In this role you would play a crucial role in enabling us to do this.
As a CE Higher Apprentice, you can expect to be involved in any number of the below activities:
1. Support the development and costing for less complex customer connection investment up to the point that a proposal has been developed and an investment driver has been established.
2. Develop a range of costed delivery programme options for each project to discuss with the customer to ensure best fit and solution with their requirements.
3. Drive customer and stakeholder satisfaction through positive engagement and work pro-actively to resolve issues in a timely manner.
4. Support the investment process for a portfolio of less complex customer investments up to and including the handover to the EPC Project Manager.
5. Support the scheme team, actively managing key stakeholders to ensure their timely input and agreement to the selection and development of investments, pursuant to timely approvals.
6. Develop the least cost, optimal, efficient and safe solution in line with CDM Regulations and SHESQ considerations. Document all residual design issues, CDM issues, hazards and risks.
7. Undertake the required site and condition assessments, and support the consenting, type registration, cost estimation, programme risk mitigation and innovation activities to enable the delivery vehicle to implement the solution on site.
8. Produce all required project documentation, ensuring governance is maintained throughout the investment process whilst also demonstrating the implementation of lessons learned and best practice.
9. Monitor and control the investment throughout the investment process and provide competent, accurate and timely financial forecasting information to support regulatory reporting, and business and capital planning.
10. Enact the role of Client's Delegated Representative and where appropriate, Principle Designer.
