- Oversee the planning, execution, and completion of a portfolio of grid connection projects up to 132 kV, ensuring they are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
- Demonstrate excellent knowledge of CDM 2015 requirements, with competence in establishing safe working practices.
- Oversee all construction activities associated with connecting Elgin’s project portfolio to distribution networks in the UK and Ireland. Develop and manage project budgets, ensuring effective cost control and financial performance.
- Maintain strong relationships with subcontractors, design teams, suppliers, network operators, and owner’s engineers, ensuring effective communication and coordination throughout the project delivery lifecycle.
- Implement rigorous quality assurance and control processes to ensure all construction work meets or exceeds the technical specifications and industry standards.
- Provide regular reports and updates to senior management and stakeholders on project progress, financial performance, and risk management.

Your profile

- 10+ years of experience in project delivery, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role in the electricity transmission/distribution or renewables sectors.
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field. A master’s degree or relevant professional certifications (e.g., PMP, CCM) is a plus.
- Proven track record of successful project delivery of high voltage grid connection assets, with a focus on safety, timelines, quality, and cost.
