The Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) is delivering one of the UK’s most important low-carbon infrastructure projects, building the onshore and offshore pipelines, storage sites and wells that will safely transport millions of tonnes of CO₂ to the North Sea.
We’re now looking for a senior Expansion Manager to lead the next phase: a programme including an 88km onshore pipeline, 100km of offshore pipelines, two new CO₂ storage sites and wells.
Why this role matters
You’ll be responsible for shaping and delivering a critical part of the UK’s energy transition, taking a multi-billion-pound infrastructure programme through development, regulatory approvals, and Final Investment Decision (FID).
What you’ll do:
* Lead the integrated Expansion programme – onshore & offshore scope through project development and beyond FID.
* Build and resource the project organisation (team, contractors, systems, governance).
* Oversee strategy for contracting, procurement, cost, schedule, risk and HSSE.
* Drive regulatory and consenting activity, including Development Consent Order (DCO).
* Act as a key interface with regulators, government, industry partners and local stakeholders.
* Deliver a competitive, safe and world-class CO₂ transport and storage solution.
What we’re looking for:
* Extensive experience leading large, complex infrastructure projects, ideally across pipelines, offshore assets, and wells.
* Deep understanding of project governance, assurance frameworks, and risk management.
* Strong stakeholder management skills with experience engaging regulators and government.
* Strategic thinker who can operate in complex, ambiguous environments and build collaboration across multiple organisations.
* CCUS or energy transition experience would be a real advantage.
This is a unique opportunity to lead a first-of-a-kind UK project and make a direct impact on national decarbonisation efforts.
