You'll lead the development of our understanding of the MOB asset base, defining the strategy, capability and delivery approach needed to manage risk and investment effectively.

As Head of MOBs, you'll play a key role in establishing the long-term roadmap for these assets, building the frameworks, processes and delivery model required to support increasing levels of survey, assurance, design and replacement activity. Your work will directly influence how SGN manages this critical asset challenge throughout GD3 and beyond.

We deliver safety, warmth, and comfort to homes and businesses. Every role, whether in the office or on the front line, plays a key part in this mission. Here’s how you will contribute…

• Lead and develop a small specialist MOB team covering asset assessment, programme development, design/scoping and workload management & reporting.

• Build strong working relationships with Operations, setting manageable expectations maintaining clarity that replacement & refurbishment activity is delivered to the highest standard.

• Establish clear ownership, accountability and decision-making throughout the MOB lifecycle.

• Build the specialist capability required to manage a substantial programme of works during GD3.

• Develop an open, evidence-led and safety-focused culture in which emerging risks are identified and acted upon early.

What you will need

• Knowledge of gas distribution networks, including how the system operates and the range of associated asset classes.

• Knowledge or experience of delivering gas mains, services and riser replacement programmes, with a thorough understanding of operational practices and engineering requirements.

• Proven experience leading complex, risk-based asset intervention programmes, using data and engineering judgement to drive investment decisions.

• Demonstrable experience managing and analysing large datasets to support asset management, performance monitoring and regulatory reporting.

• Leadership experience, with the ability to build, lead and develop high-performing teams while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

• Operational experience, or the ability to work closely with operational teams as a subject matter expert, influencing strategy and ensuring successful programme delivery.
