They need someone who understands working in live buildings, coordinating shutdowns and maintaining business continuity while upgrades take place.

This Electrical Project Manager position will focus on a substantial programme in Teddington, expected to run for five to six years. Works include LV distribution, distribution board replacements, plant room works, electrical upgrades and lighting upgrades within a live, operational environment.

You’ll typically spend three to four days per week in Teddington, with around one day supporting other London projects. Working directly with the Managing Director, you’ll join a supportive team with scope to progress as the business and client account grow.
