• Take ownership of HVDC transformer projects from formal project handover through to delivery and customer acceptance.
• Lead multiple projects or equipment packages concurrently, establishing clear plans, priorities, milestones and accountabilities.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams across engineering, sourcing, manufacturing, quality, logistics and other supporting functions.
• Manage project financial performance, including budgets, forecasts, costs and margin within the assigned scope.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, delivery plans and contingency or recovery actions.
• Monitor project scope and contractual commitments, ensuring that changes and their commercial or delivery implications are understood and appropriately managed.
• Drive the effective management of risks and opportunities, identifying potential issues early and implementing suitable mitigation actions.
• Act as a key point of contact for customers, maintaining clear communication and building strong, lasting relationships.
• Facilitate project and gate reviews, ensuring that actions, decisions and accountabilities are clearly documented and followed through.
• Provide accurate and timely reporting on project progress, costs, risks and overall performance.
• Work with internal teams, customers and suppliers to resolve complex technical, commercial and delivery challenges.
• Promote a strong culture of safety, quality, compliance and continuous improvement throughout project execution.
• Capture lessons learned and use them to strengthen future project delivery.

• Occasional travel, including international travel, may be required to support project delivery and customer engagement.

You will be a confident, organised communicator with a strong record of delivering complex projects. You will bring:

• Significant experience managing complex, high-value, customer-facing engineering, equipment or manufacturing projects.
• Experience taking ownership of projects from contract or internal handover through to delivery and customer acceptance.
• Strong financial and commercial awareness, including experience managing project budgets, costs, forecasts and financial performance.
• Practical knowledge of project risk, opportunity, change and issue management.
• Experience coordinating and leading multidisciplinary teams within a matrix organisation.
• The ability to manage multiple projects, work packages or competing priorities concurrently.
• Strong customer and stakeholder-management skills, with the confidence to communicate across technical, commercial and senior-leadership audiences.
• The ability to analyse complex information, exercise sound judgement and drive issues through to resolution.
• Strong written and spoken English; additional language skills would be advantageous.
• Confidence using project-management, reporting and documentation systems.

A degree in Electrical Engineering, Project Management or a related discipline would be advantageous. However, we are most interested in your overall project-delivery experience, professional achievements and practical expertise.

Experience delivering transformers, HVDC systems, power-transmission infrastructure or other high-value engineered equipment would be particularly valuable. We would also welcome relevant experience gained within other technically complex sectors.

A recognised project-management qualification, such as APM, PMP, PRINCE2 or an equivalent certification, would also be advantageous.
