Company Description
Egis is a leading global architecture, consulting, construction engineering and operating firm. We work side by side with clients to build a more balanced, sustainable and resilient world.
Omnia Projects, part of the Egis Group, are a UK-based engineering consultancy specialising in electricity Transmission and Distribution (T&D) providing engineering, project management and technical assurance.
Project Description
As a Project Manager, you will support major infrastructure projects through the early development lifecycle—from initial concept and site strategy formation through to financial sanction—before handover to project delivery teams. You will play a pivotal role in progressing nationally significant projects, including those essential to the UK’s decarbonisation strategy and future electricity transmission needs.
You will lead multi‑disciplinary investment teams, oversee optioneering and engineering development, and ensure that planned solutions are technically robust, cost‑efficient, safe, and aligned with stakeholder, client, and regulatory expectations. This role includes involvement in a major strategic reinforcement between Cumbria and Gateshead, upgrading the existing 275 kV Route to a 400 kV double circuit, including working on a Development Consent Order (DCO).
The project requires sensitive design and routing due to proximity to World Heritage Sites, national parks, and National Landscapes. You will support the early design stages of substation and transmission‑line development, acting in a consultancy-style capacity rather than design assurance, with occasional travel for key meetings.
Project Development & Leadership
- Lead and coordinate multi-disciplinary project teams, securing timely input from stakeholders and ensuring alignment on investment option selection and design development.
- Appoint and manage internal and external engineering, environmental, consultant, and stakeholder groups.
- Guide the project through setup, optioneering, FEED development, and early-stage engineering, ensuring readiness for financial sanction.
- Support regulatory and governance processes including cost estimation, programme risk mitigation, innovation reviews, and type registration activities.
Consenting, Planning & External Interfaces
- Support development consent and planning processes (including DCO), providing technical input, documentation support, and coordination with environmental consultants.
- Liaise with third‑party stakeholders including other utilities, local authorities, regulatory bodies, and community representatives.
- Contribute to the development of site strategies incorporating asset health, customer connection needs, and future system requirements.
Project Governance & Delivery Preparation
- Prepare scope of works documentation and support tender evaluations.
- Act as the Client’s Delegated Representative and, where appropriate, the Principal Designer.
- Undertake additional duties as assigned by the Lead Project Manager to support delivery of the strategic reinforcement.
