- Lead contract management under NEC/FIDIC, including change control, variations, claims and compensation events
- Work with Commercial and Engineering to shape bids so that new work can be delivered profitably
- Build and develop the team, recruiting PMs, project engineers, planners and project controls staff
What you’ll bring
- 15+ years in project or programme delivery across power, utilities or energy infrastructure, including at least 5 in a senior delivery leadership role

- Solid grounding in HV substation, P and C, SCADA and/or operational telecoms delivery

- A background introducing project controls, ERP or PM systems
Based in Stoke-on-Trent / Newcastle-under-Lyme, with travel to client sites in the UK and abroad.
If you’re a delivery leader who is as comfortable in the boardroom as on site, and you want a role where your decisions shape the business, I’d welcome a confidential conversation. Know someone this fits? A tag or share would be appreciated.
