Project Manager

What you'll be doing

• Taking ownership of allocated work packages from procurement through to construction, commissioning and handover.
• Managing subcontractors, suppliers and OEMs to ensure delivery against agreed programmes and milestones.
• Coordinating with engineering teams to manage design interfaces, technical queries and package dependencies.
• Monitoring progress, identifying potential delays and implementing recovery plans where required.
• Working closely with construction, commissioning and commercial teams to ensure successful package delivery.
• Managing technical and programme risks, variations and changes throughout the project lifecycle.
• Ensuring all relevant testing, commissioning and handover documentation is completed.

What we're looking for

• You'll ideally come from a Project Management, Project Engineering or Package Management background within BESS, HV infrastructure, substations, power generation or major EPC projects.
• We're particularly interested in speaking with people who have:
• Experience delivering significant engineering or construction work packages on complex infrastructure projects.
• A strong understanding of multidisciplinary engineering, particularly electrical infrastructure and associated civils.
• Proven experience managing subcontractors, suppliers and technical interfaces.
• Experience coordinating procurement, construction, testing and commissioning activities.
• Good commercial awareness and an understanding of project programmes, risks and variations.
• An engineering qualification (degree, HNC/HND or equivalent).
• Previous experience on BESS projects would be advantageous, as would exposure to HV substations, grid connections, protection and control systems or FIDIC contracts.
• However, you don't necessarily need to have worked on a battery storage project before. We're equally interested in candidates with transferable experience delivering complex electrical or energy infrastructure projects.

What's on offer?

• £400 per day
• Long-term contract opportunity, anticipated to run until mid-2028.
• Hybrid working, with a minimum of three days per week on site near Stoke-on-Trent.
• Opportunity to work on a major UK battery storage development.
• An established project team and the chance to take genuine ownership of your work packages.
