Jobbeschreibung

HV Transformer Project Manager | National Grid Projects

Location: UK-based, with regular travel to substations and project sites

Type: Full-time, permanent

About the company

Our client is a major South Korean engineering and manufacturing group with a growing presence in the UK power infrastructure market. They manufacture heavy electrical equipment and power systems, focusing on high-voltage transformers, grid infrastructure and energy storage. With contracts already secured with major UK network operators, they are looking to strengthen their position as the UK invests in upgrading its electricity networks and connecting more renewable energy.

The role

They are looking for an experienced HV Transformer Project Manager to manage projects primarily for National Grid, alongside other transformer projects. Reporting to the Director of Project Management, you will take ownership of projects once a contract is handed over from sales and drive them through planning and design, manufacturing and delivery, to installation and completion on site.

You don’t need to be a transformer design engineer. The focus is on managing complex electrical infrastructure projects and keeping them on track commercially, technically and operationally.

Key responsibilities

• Scope, schedule and control projects throughout their lifecycle
• Act as the central point of contact between the UK customer, subcontractors, the Korean headquarters, the factory and internal sales and commercial teams
• Keep all stakeholders aligned on programme, progress, deliverables and expectations
• Manage project documentation, including design information, quality records, progress reports and contractual deliverables
• Identify risks and potential delays early, communicate them to the customer and work with teams to resolve them
• Support tendering activities to help secure future projects

About you

• At least five years of project management experience, ideally in HV electrical infrastructure, transformers, substations or a closely related power engineering environment
• Experience managing projects across the full lifecycle
• Comfortable running multiple projects at once, potentially at different stages of delivery
• Experience managing subcontractors, dealing directly with customers and coordinating internal and external stakeholders
• Experience with HV transformer installation and delivery in a National Grid or Scottish Power Energy Networks environment, particularly at 400kV, is highly relevant
• Formal project management qualification (relevant practical experience will also be considered)
• Electrical engineering qualification
• Experience in offshore wind or other major energy infrastructure projects
