Senior Project Delivery Manager

Senior Project Delivery Manager

Energy Infrastructure & Battery Storage | Hybrid (UK)

Attention

Are you a senior project delivery professional with proven experience delivering grid-connected energy infrastructure projects?

Do you want full accountability for complex utility, power or BESS projects - without being reduced to governance, reporting or facilitation?

This role offers genuine ownership of delivery, where leadership, technical understanding and decision-making sit firmly with you.

Interest

Our client delivers complex, grid-connected energy infrastructure projects across the UK, including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), HV infrastructure and associated utility works.

They are seeking a Senior Project Delivery Manager to take end-to-end responsibility for the safe, compliant and successful delivery of projects from detailed design through construction, commissioning and handover into operations.

This is a senior delivery role working across multiple live projects within a technically demanding utilities / power environment.

The role is primarily office-based with regular engagement at site during key delivery phases.

Desire

In this role, you’ll act as the senior delivery lead across a portfolio of energy infrastructure projects, including:

• Owning programme, cost, quality, safety and risk across projects
• Leading delivery from detailed design through construction and commissioning
• Managing contractors and consultants under NEC4 contracts
• Coordinating delivery across utility, grid and specialist electrical stakeholders
• Ensuring strong governance, reporting and control throughout delivery
• Acting as the key interface between internal stakeholders and external delivery partners, including DNOs, National Grid, ICPs and principal contractors
• Driving projects through to operational handover with confidence and clarity

This role suits experienced delivery leaders who enjoy owning outcomes, making informed decisions and operating close to delivery - not managing from a distance.

The Background That Fits

This role is specifically aimed at candidates with experience delivering grid-connected infrastructure projects within:

• Energy
• Utilities
• Power
• BESS
• HV / MV infrastructure
• Substations
• Power generation
• Industrial electrical infrastructure
• ICP / DNO environments

You don’t need to tick every box, but this role will suit you if you have:

• Proven experience delivering grid-connected infrastructure, utilities or energy projects
• Strong understanding of HV / power or utility delivery environments
• Experience managing contractors and delivery partners under NEC4 contracts
• Experience working alongside DNOs, National Grid, ICPs or utility stakeholders
• Strong appreciation of health, safety and regulatory compliance within high-risk infrastructure environments
• A practical, delivery-focused mindset with the confidence to lead under pressure
• Experience within energy, power, renewables or utilities is essential
• Candidates without direct experience delivering grid-connected power, utility or energy infrastructure projects are unlikely to be considered
