Description

About The Role

We are looking for experienced Project Directors to join our Customer Connections team based in our North (North West, West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, East Yorkshire, The North East) and Central (M1 corridor – Nottingham to Luton, East Anglia, Norwich, Cambridge & Chelmsford) regions. This is a hybrid role meaning you will split your time between home, office and different sites not just across the region, but across the UK.

As owners of Wales and England's electricity transmission network we are dedicated to achieving Net Zero. In order to make the transition to clean energy we need the right people to help. We're looking for a Project Director to lead a team and manage the planning and delivery of Customer Connection projects.

This is a job for someone who likes fast-paced environments and is excited by the challenge of delivering major infrastructure work within short timescales and a complex system. Someone who wants to make a difference to Net Zero.

As a leader you will be dealing with the multidisciplinary aspects of our transformational projects. One day you might be dealing with a needs case for an early-stage project, the next resolving a procurement or contract issue on a project in delivery, the following day working on a leadership issue such as talent development.

You will also be involved in land issues, stakeholder management, briefing local authorities or government bodies, negotiating with Ofgem or suppliers, making sure the scope of a project is right, and managing risk, financing and scheduling.

You'll be working in a trusting, highly collaborative and safe environment. You'll be welcomed into a positive, inclusive organisation that aims to become one of the most diverse, equitable and inclusive companies of the 21st century.
