Do you want to take ownership of a varied portfolio of projects at the heart of a fast-growing energy consultancy? As Project Manager, you will lead the delivery of a growing and increasingly complex portfolio of design and construction projects within our Energy Consultancy (EC) division, with a pipeline currently valued at over £8.5M, supporting the UK's energy networks.
You will be the primary point of accountability for your projects, from inception to completion, making sure they are delivered efficiently, profitably and to a consistently high standard, in line with NEC3/NEC4 contract requirements, our procedures and our quality management system. You will also play an important part in mentoring junior colleagues and helping to shape how our project delivery function grows.

This is a genuine opportunity to be part of a growth and success story from the inside.
This is a role you can make your own. You will work closely with experienced technical colleagues in a dynamic, forward-thinking and supportive environment, with real influence over how projects are delivered as the division scales.
