We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to support the delivery of large-scale EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) projects within our AC Systems portfolio across the UK, including both onshore and offshore environments.
This is a high-impact role where, depending on your level of experience, you will either take full ownership of complex transmission infrastructure projects or work in close collaboration with another Project Manager/Director. In both cases, you will contribute to driving delivery from initial design through to construction, commissioning, and handover. Working alongside a Project Director, you will help lead multidisciplinary teams and ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
Given the nature of our projects and stakeholders, this role requires a strong understanding of the UK transmission environment, including established standards, regulatory frameworks, and ways of working. You will bring the ability to operate effectively from day one, leveraging your experience within UK grid infrastructure to deliver successful project outcomes.
End-to-End Project Delivery
Take full accountability for delivering EPC projects to specification, budget, and schedule, ensuring customer satisfaction at every stage.
Leadership & Team Coordination
Lead and coordinate cross-functional teams including Engineering, Construction, Project Controls, Finance, EHS, Quality, and Contracts.
Stakeholder Management
Build strong relationships with internal teams, clients, and external partners, ensuring alignment and effective communication throughout the project lifecycle.
Financial & Commercial Oversight
Manage project budgets, monitor financial performance, and ensure effective cost control and resource utilisation.
Risk & Issue Management
Identify, assess, and mitigate risks proactively, while managing claims, deviations, and root cause analysis to drive continuous improvement.
Planning & Execution
Ensure all project activities are clearly defined, scheduled, and delivered in line with key milestones and contractual requirements.
EHS Leadership
Champion a strong safety culture by embedding EHS into all project decisions and ensuring compliance with all regulatory and company standards.
• Quality Leadership & Assurance
Champion a culture of quality excellence by embedding quality requirements into all project decisions, ensuring deliverables meet contractual specifications, and driving continuous improvement through effective non-conformance management and compliance with GE Vernova's Quality Management System.
Tender & Delivery Support
Support tender validation by reviewing delivery models, commitments, risks, and opportunities.
It is essential that candidates bring demonstrable experience delivering transmission projects within the UK market. This role requires someone who can operate effectively from day one, with a strong understanding of UK regulations, standards, and established ways of working.
We are particularly interested in candidates who have gained this experience through working on Grid substations with major UK network operators such as National Grid, SSE, or UK Power Networks. This background is highly valued as it brings practical insight into UK-specific delivery environments, stakeholder expectations, and regulatory frameworks.
