Do you want to lead complex, high-value projects that help power the future of energy transmission around the world?
GE Vernova is looking for an experienced Lead Project Manager to join our HVDC Power Transformers team based in Stafford, United Kingdom.
With over 130 years of experience and proven innovation, GE Vernova is leading a new era of energy. We are electrifying the world while working to decarbonize it. Our name reflects our mission. “GE” carries a legacy of quality and ingenuity. “Ver” signals Earth’s lush ecosystems, while “Nova” nods to a new era of lower-carbon energy we are helping to deliver.
Focused on the future, GE Vernova is accelerating the shift to reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy. We help customers power economies and deliver electricity vital to health, safety, and quality of life.
Our Electrification solutions modernize grids, enable renewable integration, and strengthen energy systems. From software to power conversion and storage, we help create smarter, more resilient energy networks.
As Lead Project Manager, you will take ownership of complex, high-value HVDC transformer projects from project handover through to final delivery and customer acceptance.
You will manage multiple projects or transformer packages concurrently, with accountability for their operational and financial performance. Working within a global matrix organisation, you will lead cross-functional teams spanning engineering, sourcing, manufacturing, quality, logistics and other key functions.
You will bring these teams together to deliver projects safely and in accordance with agreed quality, cost and schedule commitments. As a trusted point of contact for customers, you will balance commercial rigour with technical delivery, helping to protect project outcomes while strengthening customer relationships and GE Vernova’s reputation for excellence.
This is a project leadership position without formal direct reports. Your success will depend on your ability to influence, coordinate and lead multidisciplinary project resources across the wider organisation.
You will be a confident, organised communicator with a strong record of delivering complex projects. You will bring:
A degree in Electrical Engineering, Project Management or a related discipline would be advantageous. However, we are most interested in your overall project-delivery experience, professional achievements and practical expertise.
Experience delivering transformers, HVDC systems, power-transmission infrastructure or other high-value engineered equipment would be particularly valuable. We would also welcome relevant experience gained within other technically complex sectors.
A recognised project-management qualification, such as APM, PMP, PRINCE2 or an equivalent certification, would also be advantageous.
This is a permanent position based at our Stafford facility.
We operate a hybrid working model, with an expectation that you will normally work from the Stafford site three days per week and from home for the remaining two days.
The position follows standard business hours and is not a shift-based role. Occasional travel may be required, although this is expected to be limited.
Every action shapes our future. That’s why our north star is a culture of impact, where everyone is empowered to thrive and achieve.
Addressing the urgent need to build a more sustainable electric power system while improving the trajectory of climate-change emissions are global priorities, and we take our responsibility seriously. That is our mission at GE Vernova: continuing to electrify and decarbonize the world. We play a significant role in leading a new era of energy.
Our technology helps generate approximately twenty-five percent of the world’s electricity today, and we are working to power the rest. If we want the future of energy to be different, join us and be the difference. Together, we have the Energy to Change the World.

We’re committed to providing you with the tools to navigate and shape a career journey that supports a healthy work-life balance. No two careers are the same, and yours should reflect your personal and professional goals. Your people leader and trusted mentors will support you throughout your journey.
We also prioritise fair pay, performance-based rewards and wellbeing programmes for you and your family. With opportunities to move across teams and functions, your career can continue evolving while sustainability remains at the core of everything we do.
