Construction Manager - Street Lighting

Location: Bradford

Your New Role:

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Permanent Construction Manager to join our Bradford Street Lighting account in Bradford - Onsite

Amey has been working in partnership with City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council since 2020 to upgrade their street lighting and help Bradford to develop as a Smart City. We have surveyed the existing stock of almost 60,000 assets and are now designing and upgrading these to modern LED units that save around 75% of the energy consumption. We are installing smart LEDs, which are controlled and monitored remotely through a wireless network. As well as providing better lighting to improve road safety, this allows Bradford Council to dim or switch off some lights to lower their carbon emissions and will reduce future maintenance costs. Better lighting is already making local communities feel safer; we are also delivering a range of social value benefits including commitments to local employment, apprenticeships, training and community projects to leave a lasting legacy.

Construction Manager plays an important part in in the replacement of all the existing street lights across the Bradford district with Smart LEDs, which are controlled remotely through a CMS network. You will manage the daily operational delivery of the Bradford Smart Street Lighting contract to safety, cost, time and quality requirements.

The standard hours of work are 40 hrs per week.

Work-life balance and flexibility are key for our success. We empower our people to make choices that are right for them, with hybrid, part-time and flexible work patterns. And with a network of offices across the UK, we’re open to discussing working options that suit you.

You will be responsible for:

• Comply with all relevant HSEQ requirements
• Effective control of operational budgets
• Provide main operational contact for the client team and respond to all queries within 3 days
