Climate change is the defining challenge of our generation. National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) is central to the UK’s energy system and has a vital role in enabling the transition to clean energy and net zero by 2050.
As part of the Infrastructure Delivery team, you’ll lead the delivery of our major infrastructure and customer connections portfolio – integrating across Major Projects to manage risk and achieve outcomes. Projects will include new substations and upgrades, cabling and overhead lines.
You’ll oversee projects end to end, ensuring safe, compliant delivery to time and quality standards, and continuously improving how we plan and execute work. Reporting to the Project Director, you’ll lead, manage and grow a multidisciplinary team of Project Managers through the full project lifecycle—from funding and option selection to design, contract award, governance, procurement and construction planning.
We’re looking for a leader who is motivated and committed to getting their projects delivered safely, on time and to budget. Someone who can inspire and empower our people for great performance.
You will have a background in construction project management, have strong commercial acumen and experience leading cross‑functional teams in an operational environment with a good understanding of financial management and reporting at Portfolio level.
You’ll be a self‑starter who is good at playing devil’s advocate and foreseeing potential problems. You may have experience outside of a client role as either contractor or customer.
Ideally, you will have a degree or qualification in project management, engineering, or equivalent experience. You’ll also have a driving licence that permits you to drive in the UK.
Salary of £70,000 - £86,000 dependent on experience and capability.

Please note that in most cases, National Grid is unable to offer sponsorship for employment under the UK points‑based immigration system. As such, applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK without requiring sponsorship now or in the future under the UK points‑based immigration system.
