E&I Construction Package Lead

Description

• Identify and drive opportunities for early wins, efficiency improvements, and risk mitigation across the construction scope.
• Develop, review, and approve E&I construction strategies, workpacks, and procedures across all delivery phases.
• Act as the key interface between Construction, Engineering, Procurement, and Subcontracts throughout design and execution.
• Provide construction oversight during the Detailed Design phase, ensuring design deliverables support safe, efficient construction methodologies.
• Collaborate with Planning and Project Controls to accurately forecast labour, progress, and resource demands.
• Ensure design changes are fully assessed for construction impact and coordinated across disciplines.
• Attend daily, weekly, and monthly project meetings, providing clear updates on E&I work scope, risks, and progress.
• Lead the safe and timely preparation and execution of the E&I construction scope, ensuring compliance with project HSEQ standards, site procedures, and safety targets.
• Assess and escalate any potential construction growth, ensuring approved adjustments are reflected within project schedules and estimates.
• Lead constructability reviews, identifying opportunities for optimisation and supporting the resolution of engineering design issues.
• Interface closely with engineering teams to ensure all E&I engineering deliverables (including P&IDs, SLDs, drawings, and datasheets) meet project requirements and align with AWP methodology.
• Communicate effectively with project management, stakeholders, and client-side representatives, escalating issues early to support project delivery.
• Support site surveys, walkdowns, and multidisciplinary meetings to ensure alignment on construction readiness.
• Manage and review AWP (Advanced Work Packaging) construction workpacks, confirming readiness in terms of materials, tooling, safety, sequencing, access, and constructability.
• Coordinate closely with civil, mechanical, and commissioning teams to avoid work clashes and ensure smooth sequencing across disciplines.

Requirements

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with an ability to work independently and methodically.
• Proven experience overseeing or interfacing with Detailed Design and project planning phases.
• Proven HSSE leadership and an “Incident Free” mindset.
• Demonstrated experience of leading teams and supporting knowledge transfer.
• Understanding of how construction, commissioning, and operations phases integrate across the full project lifecycle.
• Minimum HNC in an engineering-related subject, or equivalent technical apprenticeship with supporting qualifications.
• Strong background in E&I construction execution, ideally within major energy, industrial, or power generation projects.
• Fully conversant with project management systems, construction processes, and industry best practices.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience working within multi-discipline and multi-cultural teams.
• Experience working on large, complex onshore industrial or energy construction sites.
• First 6–9 months: London office, 5 days per week
• 10+ years’ experience in senior roles within the engineering construction industry.
• Ability to adapt project execution strategies to meet evolving design and construction requirements.
• High level of attention to detail, with strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
• Strong understanding and experience with AWP methodology in practical application.
• Demonstrate visible safety leadership on a daily basis—actively engaging with teams, reinforcing safety behaviours, and driving an incident-free culture.
