As an Investment and Design Coordinator at Northern Gas Networks (NGN), you will be at the heart of delivering safe, high-quality capital projects that support our network and customers. You will lead and coordinate the full design lifecycle, from early concept development and scoping through to final handover, taking technical ownership throughout the process.

Acting as the technically responsible person, you will ensure that all designs are safe, compliant, cost-effective and aligned with regulatory requirements and NGN's strategic objectives. You will also provide design assurance across the wider project lifecycle, working closely with internal teams and delivery partners to ensure design integrity is maintained from start to finish.

This is a hands-on technical role, working across a range of disciplines including Mechanical, Electrical and Instrumentation, Pipelines, Cathodic Protection, Civil and Security. A full UK driving licence is essential. The role involves travel across NGN's operational area, including major cities such as Newcastle, Sunderland, Leeds, York, Hull, and Bradford, as well as rural regions like North Yorkshire and Cumbria.

• Develop clear, comprehensive scopes that fully capture project requirements and remove technical ambiguity.
• Embed a strong Health & Safety culture by applying Safety by Design principles across all engineering solutions.
• Lead and manage detailed design activities across projects, ensuring consistent and effective design contract management.
• Engage with the supply chain to support timely procurement of long-lead items and achievement of key project milestones.
• Plan, coordinate and oversee all enabling works and specialist surveys required to support project delivery.
• Be responsible for business case production, CBA analysis and justification to the Investment Steering Group.
