Project Manager
Stockport HQ
Travel Required
Competitive Salary
OCU is at the forefront of infrastructure engineering—driving innovation across the UK’s utilities, energy, and digital sectors. Backed by cutting-edge technology and private equity investment, we don’t just support the market—we lead it.
With a rapidly growing client base across power, water, telecoms, and energy transition, we’re scaling fast and looking for exceptional talent to join us.
We’re now hiring a Project Manager to join our Group PMO team in Stockport. With 60–70 live projects in motion and bold growth on the horizon, this is a unique opportunity to lead transformation across both group and business units in a high-impact, hands-on role.
You’ll manage a portfolio of 4–6 diverse projects at once—spanning digital, operational, and strategic initiatives—blending delivery execution with big-picture thinking.
Why This Role Stands Out:
* PE-backed growth business with big plans—career progression is not just possible, it’s expected.
* High-impact role reporting to the Group Programme Management Director.
* Work across OCU Digital, OCU Data, and senior stakeholders.
* Be at the centre of change—driving digital transformation, ERP implementations, and other major initiatives.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* End-to-end ownership of projects across business and group functions.
* Lead contract mobilisation, systems implementation, and process improvement.
* Manage budgets, risks, timelines, and stakeholders—internal and external.
* Collaborate cross-functionally to align outcomes with strategic goals.
* Engage in hands-on problem solving, guiding teams through complex challenges.
* Champion PMO governance and reporting, contributing to the maturity of the function.
Who We’re Looking For:
* Proven project leadership experience (10+ years) in complex, matrix environments.
* Ideally experienced in digital, ERP, or business transformation projects.
* Backgrounds in program, change, or delivery management are welcomed.
* Strong communicator, comfortable working across multiple departments and with senior leadership.
* Agile, PRINCE2, or PMP qualifications are desirable.
Location & Travel:
* Based at Stockport HQ, with travel as required.
Career Growth:
Join a tight-knit, growing PMO team (you’ll be the 4th Project Manager) and access clear progression pathways across the group as the business scales rapidly. With exposure to cross-business functions and digital strategy, this is a genuine career-defining role.
Ready to be part of something bigger? Apply now to make your mark in a high-growth, PE-backed environment where delivery and impact go hand in hand.
