Senior Project Manager
Our client is a UK developer and owner of battery storage and flexible generation, with a multi-gigawatt pipeline that is moving from consent into delivery. They are hiring a Senior Project Manager to take direct ownership of a utility-scale BESS project, from pre-construction through to energisation. This is a delivery role at the point where the UK’s largest storage assets stop being planning consents and become operating infrastructure.
The Company
An investor-backed platform with one of the larger BESS pipelines in the country, including 400kV transmission-connected sites and a flagship project already in construction. You would join a divisional leadership environment where engineering, commercial and project services sit close together, so decisions are made quickly and your input carries weight. Teams are in-house and multidisciplinary, and there is a clear route to Project Director as the pipeline matures.
Key Responsibilities
- Own delivery of an assigned BESS 400MW+ projects, managing scope, programme, cost and quality through design, construction and commissioning.
- Lead contractor engagement, including early contractor involvement, value engineering and head contract tendering and execution.
- Run a multidisciplinary team of internal and external resources, with monthly delivery plans, cost reports and status reporting to senior leadership.
- Manage HSE, statutory compliance, contract administration and commercial issues as they arise, escalating and resolving them with technical and commercial credibility.
Experience & Qualifications
- Proven delivery of energy or infrastructure projects as project lead, with significant CapEx under your personal responsibility.
- Experience across design, procurement, construction and commissioning, ideally on BESS, solar, thermal generation or other 200MW+ energy projects.
- Working knowledge of procurement and contracting models, with experience negotiating packages, pricing and risk with contractors.
- Strong financial management, including forecasting, schedule control and design management.
- Engineering or Construction Management degree preferred, and EPC or principal contractor experience is beneficial. Candidates currently stepping up from Project Manager are welcome.
- Competitive salary and performance-related bonus
- Hands-on ownership of projects at a scale few UK developers can offer
- Pension and private healthcare
- Structured development with a defined progression path
- Flexible working arrangements
