Put simply, this role is about bringing people together and making sure a complex HVDC engineering programme gets delivered successfully.
Our HVDC Reference Solutions team is developing more standardised, repeatable solutions that can be reused across future projects and tenders – helping reduce unnecessary re-engineering, improve consistency and make delivery more efficient.
As the HVDC Programme Manager, you’ll lead and coordinate a multidisciplinary team working across different functions and locations. You’ll create structure, set priorities, keep people aligned and make sure the agreed scope moves forward. You’ll work closely with a Technical Lead, who owns the detailed technical direction, while you focus on programme delivery, organisation and leadership.
Because Reference Solutions is still evolving, not every process is already defined. We’re therefore looking for someone who is comfortable with complexity and ambiguity – someone who can take an objective, bring the right people together and confidently turn it into something practical and deliverable.
Do you want to lead a high-profile programme helping shape how HVDC solutions are standardised, delivered and reused across some of the world’s most complex power transmission projects?
GE Vernova is looking for an exceptional HVDC Programme Manager to join our HVDC Tendering & Reference Solutions 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.

The HVDC Programme Manager will lead the delivery of a defined portfolio of HVDC Reference Solutions, bringing together multidisciplinary teams to create scalable, repeatable solutions for use across tendering and project execution.
You will take ownership of a complex programme of engineering work, providing the organisation, leadership and delivery focus needed to bring together a geographically dispersed matrix team. Working in close partnership with a Technical Lead, you will drive planning, coordination and delivery while helping shape ways of working within an evolving Reference Solutions organisation.
This is an opportunity to combine HVDC industry knowledge with programme leadership, helping GE Vernova increase engineering reuse, improve consistency and lead times, and strengthen the competitiveness of our HVDC solutions.
You should be a confident engineering and programme leader who can bring structure to complex work, influence across a matrix organisation and drive delivery in an environment where processes and ways of working continue to evolve.
A University Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering/technical discipline is required as a prerequisite, as the role requires the engineering grounding necessary to understand complex HVDC solutions, work credibly with technical teams and lead multidisciplinary engineering delivery.
