The M25 is one of our Flagship projects in the UK! It is the most used part of the UK Strategic Road Network with it seeing over 200,000 vehicles per day and it’s a critical infrastructure asset for personal and goods vehicles into and around our capital. The network includes around 800 structures and 5 tunnels, so it requires high levels of performance, constant improvement and repairs to keep it operating smoothly.

We’ve formed a Joint Venture project called Connect Plus Services (CPS) to work with our partners to widen, operate and maintain the M25 under a 30-year contract and looking for a Construction Supervisor to support the duties as stated in the Contract (NEC 3 ECC) and undertake construction planning activities on fencing and vehicle restraint system (VRS) assets.

The role encompasses responsibilities of both CDM regulations and NEC contract requirements, ensuring practical constructability reviews take place during pre-construction design stage and then ensuring inspection and physical witnessing onsite is undertaken during construction.

The role coordinates between CPS teams with the aim of ensuring we plan for safe and cost-effective solutions to maintain or improve the asset to the standards agreed. The second half of the role is to provide engineering supervision of construction operations so to ensure CPS is confident Design, H&S, Asbestos & Temporary works are all being managed as per the expected design & process. The Supervisor will be responsible for management of the day-to-day construction works including associated Health, Safety, Environment, Quality and Sustainability issues on site.    

The role is independent from the framework contractors and is primarily focused on ensuring the project is constructed in accordance with the design, specifications and procedures set out by CP/CPS.
