Opportunity to Lead Major Renewable Energy Projects Across the UK
I'm currently working with a well-established and fast-growing company in the UK renewable energy sector that is looking to appoint a Lead Project Manager. This is a key hire for the business and offers long-term stability with a secured pipeline of projects extending well beyond the next five years.
You'll be responsible for overseeing the delivery of multiple complex electrical infrastructure projects (typically up to £40M in value), while also leading and mentoring a small team of junior Project Managers. This is a high-impact role with clear career progression potential, working at the forefront of the UK's energy transition.

- Ensuring all work is delivered safely, on time, and within budget
- Regular site visits and travel across the UK as required
What You'll Need
This role suits someone with a strong background in energy, utilities, or electrical infrastructure. You'll need to be confident managing high-value engineering projects, ideally in the renewable or power sector.
Essential:
- Proven experience managing complex infrastructure projects (£5M-£40M)
- Strong technical knowledge of LV, MV, and HV electrical systems (including substations)
- Track record of project delivery in live site environments
- Skilled in risk management, planning, and stakeholder engagement
- Comfortable leading teams and dealing directly with clients
