Wayleave Officer - #1672011

Wayleave Officer – Overhead and Underground HV networks

1yr Contract: £350 a day umbrella

We're looking for a Wayleave Officer to play a crucial role in supporting the delivery of overhead and overground electricity infrastructure projects across the UK. From rural landscapes to urban centres, you'll help secure the land access rights that keep the country's power supply moving.

This is a role for someone who thrives on negotiation, stakeholder engagement, and problem-solving. You'll work directly with landowners, local authorities, and project teams to agree wayleaves and permissions that enable vital electrical works — including the installation, maintenance, and upgrade of overhead lines and related infrastructure.

Whether you're from a utilities, land management, or property background, this is your chance to join a team where your work has a visible, lasting impact. You’ll help ensure communities stay connected, energy networks stay resilient, and the future of the UK’s grid stays on track.

What’s in it for you?

• Be at the heart of high-impact electricity projects, from planning to delivery


• Build meaningful relationships with landowners and key stakeholders


• Work across varied landscapes and regions, each with its own challenges and rewards


• Enjoy strong support, real autonomy, and the chance to grow your career in a specialist area

If you're commercially minded, confident on the phone and in person, and keen to support projects that keep the lights on across the country — we’d love to hear from you.
