Electrical Project Manager

Electrical Project Manager

Transmission & Distribution

North East

I'm working with an established electrical engineering business that is looking to strengthen its project team with experienced Project Managers from a Transmission & Distribution background.

Substation build experience is essential. You'll need a proven track record of delivering HV/EHV substation projects, with a good understanding of the technical, commercial and construction aspects involved.

The role could suit either a Technical Project Manager or Electrical Project Manager, depending on your background.

The role will involve:

Managing HV/EHV substation projects from mobilisation through to completion

Taking responsibility for programme, budget, resources and delivery

Managing site teams, subcontractors and suppliers

Coordinating electrical, civil, engineering and commissioning activities

Reviewing designs, drawings, specifications and technical documentation

Managing project risks, change and commercial issues

Working closely with clients, DNOs, consultants and other stakeholders

Ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time and to specification

Supporting procurement and subcontractor management

Providing technical support and resolving issues throughout delivery

Managing project reporting and progress updates

Essential experience:

Strong background in Transmission & Distribution

Proven experience delivering substation construction/build projects

Experience across HV/EHV electrical infrastructure

Strong understanding of substation construction and electrical installation

Experience managing subcontractors and multidisciplinary teams

Strong programme, budget and project management experience

Comfortable working with clients and senior stakeholders

Understanding of H&S, quality and compliance requirements within power infrastructure

Experience working across 132kV and above would be particularly relevant, as would experience with National Grid, DNOs, ICPs or major electrical contractors.

This would suit someone who has progressed through an electrical/site/project engineering background and is now managing the full delivery of substation projects.
