Job Title: Transformation Delivery Lead - Major Infrastructure Programme

Location: Sheffield (2 days per week onsite) / Hybrid

Contract: 6 months initial (strong likelihood of extension)

Sector: Energy / Utilities / Infrastructure

Overview

We are supporting a major UK infrastructure organisation delivering a large-scale capital upgrade programme aligned to national net-zero objectives. The programme focuses on ground-based infrastructure and site equipment (e.g. transformers, shunters, and associated assets) delivered across multiple locations at pace.

The Transformation Delivery Lead will play a critical, hands-on role in establishing new delivery capability, embedding new construction and supply chain processes, and ensuring high-volume delivery across a complex portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and coordinate delivery across a high-volume infrastructure portfolio (50+ units per year) spanning design, installation, commissioning and handover.
Build delivery capability from the ground up, establishing new teams, processes, and governance frameworks where limited structure currently exists.
Design and embed new construction behaviours, delivery processes and supplier engagement models to support accelerated delivery.
Act as a central point of coordination across internal stakeholders, contractors, and supply chain partners.
Support and participate in face-to-face engagement sessions with regional teams and suppliers to clearly communicate delivery scope, priorities, and constraints.
Work closely with suppliers to centralise delivery data, milestones, and workbooks, improving transparency and control over project progress.
Support the implementation of a new front-end delivery system, shifting ownership of milestone data from suppliers to the client organisation.
Maintain oversight of risks, issues, dependencies, and delivery performance within a safety-critical construction environment. 

Required Experience

Essential

Strong hands-on delivery background within construction, engineering, infrastructure, logistics, or materials-led environments.
Proven experience creating teams and embedding new processes
Direct experience working with construction and engineering supply chains, including contractors and site-based delivery teams.
Comfortable operating end-to-end across construction lifecycles, from early concept and design through to installation and commissioning.
Able to operate as a "doer" - this role does not come with an established team and requires active, day-to-day delivery involvement.
Strong stakeholder engagement skills and confidence working in fast-paced, high-pressure programmes. 

Desirable

Experience within energy, utilities, or regulated infrastructure programmes.
Exposure to high-volume asset or unit-based delivery.
Familiarity with delivery systems, milestone tracking tools, or construction management platforms. 

Why This Role

Opportunity to shape and deliver a nationally significant infrastructure programme supporting net-zero ambitions.
Rare chance to build a delivery function and operating model from scratch.
Highly visible role working closely with senior programme leadership and key suppliers.
Fast-moving, outcome-driven environment with real delivery impact.
