Help us create a better future, quicker

SP Energy Networks, part of the ScottishPower Group, plays a vital role in powering homes, businesses and communities across Central and Southern Scotland, Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales and North Shropshire. Our responsibility extends far beyond maintaining the cables and power lines we own; it reflects our commitment to delivering electricity safely, reliably and sustainably, every hour of every day. We focus on long‑term stewardship, respect for people and the environment, and a continued drive for innovation that supports a resilient energy future.

What you’ll be doing

We are now seeking a leader who can help shape the next stage of our strategic transformation. This role offers the opportunity to influence high‑value initiatives that improve our organisation and enhance customer experience, ensuring we fulfil our regulatory obligations and maximise the value of future business opportunities.

You will champion continuous improvement, strengthen collaboration across teams and help establish performance measures that demonstrate tangible success. A strategic mindset, strong communication skills and the ability to see the bigger picture are essential, as is the confidence to influence areas beyond your immediate comfort zone. Experience with methodologies such as Prosci, Lean Six Sigma or Agile is valuable, and the ability to model integrity, inclusiveness and a positive mindset will be key to thriving in this role.
