Electrical Site Manager | Substation Projects
Perm or contract
Most site roles talk about responsibility.
This one gives you full control of the job.
If you’re used to being stretched across multiple sites or stuck between meetings and reports, this is different. You’ll take ownership of a live project and run it properly, day to day, from mobilisation through to commissioning.
What you’ll get from this role
* Real ownership of a major substation project, not just part of it
* A site-led position where decisions are made on the ground
* Long-term pipeline of HV projects across the UK and Europe with a well-established contractor
* The chance to work on technically complex infrastructure, not repetitive builds
* A team that values delivery, not noise
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be responsible for running site activities end to end. That means:
* Managing subcontractors and keeping workfaces productive
* Driving the programme and short-term planning on site
* Coordinating across electrical, mechanical and civils teams
* Owning site safety, quality and daily delivery
* Working closely with the Project Manager to resolve issues early
* Leading from the front, not from a desk
What this role suits
You’re likely already:
* A Site Manager, or a strong Supervisor stepping up
* Working on HV, substations, or industrial projects
* Comfortable in live, safety-critical environments
* Someone who prefers being on site, solving problems, and getting things built
You don’t need to tick every box on paper. Strong construction and HV experience matters more than titles.
Why consider it
This is a move for people who want:
* More ownership
* Better projects
* Less bureaucracy
* A clearer link between their work and the outcome
