I’m recruiting a Senior-Level Design Coordinator on behalf of a leading UK infrastructure contractor delivering major energy, gas transmission and distribution projects.

This role will initially support a major upgrade to an operational UK gas terminal. The project is predominantly mechanical, with additional EC&I scope, and is currently entering an immediate design review phase ahead of construction beginning in June 2027.

• Chair design coordination meetings.
• Ensure design reviews are completed on time.
• Maintain design trackers and oversee document control.
• Liaise with clients, consultants, contractors and internal project teams.
• Coordinate responses to technical queries.
• Manage design changes and revisions.
• Support project planning and procurement activities.
• Ensure compliance with company design management procedures.
• Resolve design clashes and constructability issues.
• Support project handover and as-built documentation.

Experience Required

• Degree in an engineering or related discipline.
• Engineering or construction background.
• Experience coordinating multidisciplinary design teams.
• Strong Oil & Gas or gas infrastructure project experience.
• Experience managing external engineering designers and consultants.
• Understanding of mechanical engineering design, ideally with some exposure to EC&I.
• Experience with gas industry standards and GDN specifications.
• Knowledge of IGEM standards.
• Knowledge of G17 and/or G35 specifications.
• Knowledge of BIM and common data environments.
• Understanding of the full project lifecycle and design management.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing Energy Business, initially supporting a major gas terminal upgrade before contributing to a wider portfolio of AGI, pipeline, power and low-carbon energy projects.
