Shape the Success of Major Infrastructure Projects

United Living Infrastructure is delivering some of the UK's most complex infrastructure projects. As our portfolio continues to grow, we're looking for an experienced Interface Manager to play a pivotal role in ensuring the successful coordination and delivery of programme-critical activities across our projects.

This is an opportunity to join a high-performing team where you'll work across multiple disciplines, bringing together internal teams, clients, designers, subcontractors and external stakeholders to ensure projects progress safely, efficiently and on programme.

If you thrive on solving complex challenges, building strong relationships and driving collaboration across large infrastructure programmes, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

As Interface Manager, you'll take ownership of managing critical interfaces across Access, Ground Investigation (GI), PRI and construction delivery. Your focus will be on identifying dependencies, resolving constraints and ensuring work packages are fully coordinated from planning through to construction.

You'll act as the central point of coordination, ensuring programme risks are identified early, responsibilities are clearly defined and stakeholders remain aligned throughout the project lifecycle.

What You'll Be Doing

• Develop and maintain the Interface Management Plan and Interface Register.
• Lead interface meetings, driving actions through to resolution and removing programme blockers.
• Define package boundaries, responsibilities, dependencies and handover arrangements.
• Coordinate construction readiness across access, land, environmental, design, logistics, permitting and construction teams.
• Ensure approvals, consents and statutory submissions are reflected within programme milestones.
• Manage interfaces between United Living Infrastructure, clients, designers, subcontractors, statutory authorities and other delivery partners.
• Monitor interface risks, assumptions, decisions and changes, ensuring they are effectively managed.
• Escalate issues with clear recommendations and practical mitigation plans.
• Coordinate shared work areas, construction sequencing and cross-package activities.
• Produce regular reports highlighting interface risks, key decisions, upcoming milestones and programme constraints.
• Capture lessons learned and continuously improve interface management processes across future project phases.

About You

You'll be an organised and proactive professional with experience coordinating multidisciplinary teams on large infrastructure projects. You'll be confident working with a wide range of stakeholders, able to challenge constructively and skilled at keeping complex programmes moving forward.

You'll also have:

• A degree or equivalent qualification in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management or a related discipline.
• Significant experience managing interfaces on major infrastructure, utilities or civil engineering projects.
• Experience working collaboratively with clients, contractors, designers, statutory authorities and third parties.
• A strong understanding of programme management, construction readiness, risk management, governance and change control.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management and problem-solving skills.

It Would Be Great If You Also Have

• Chartered status or membership of a relevant professional institution.
• Experience within electricity transmission and distribution, overhead lines or other regulated infrastructure sectors.
• Knowledge of access management, GI, PRI, land, environmental and consenting processes.
• Experience working under NEC contracts and with project controls systems.
• Experience supporting projects from design development through to construction delivery.
