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
