Are you excited to solve some of the most complex energy challenges of our time?

A rare opportunity for a Project Manager has become available (12 month fixed term contract), to contribute to the once in a lifetime energy transition, where you will deliver the plan, control and manage delivery of a business project over the full project lifecycle (design, build, test, deployment, embed) in order to meet agreed business needs through identifying and utilising the necessary resources and skills, within agreed parameters of safety, cost, schedule and quality.

This role is part of our Lines Projects Delivery team within the Distribution line of business, and the role can be based out from Malvern and/or Southbank with a hybrid office/work approach. We’re happy to discuss what thus might look like with the preferred candidate.

• Provide leadership, expertise and guidance to key stakeholders in project managing delivery of business/technology initiatives
• Establish and manage commercial contracts with product suppliers and delivery partners
• Effective project finalisation and handover to business as usual, with supporting training and documentation for sustainable delivery

You don’t need to check every box, however we’re looking for a good combination of:

• Degree in Project Management/Business or equivalent technical qualifications or Certified Practicing Project Manager (CPPM) with AIPM
• Experience in Energy Distribution Networks, particularly in overhead and underground line construction (66kV & 22kV), maintenance, or upgrade programs or transmission/gas experience also beneficial
