Lead Designer responsibilities include management and coordination of all design disciplines. HVDC office extension: The development of a new extension to our existing HVDC centre in Cumbernauld. At Circa 3,000m2 the extension will follow the specification of the existing building and will house the new open plan office/ control room with numerous simulation rooms for future projects.  Control Centre office: The development of a new Critical Network Infrastructure control centre and modern support offices circa 10,000m2. The development will be built to the latest security and resilience guidance, similar to data centre specifications.
