You will oversee the full project lifecycle, from supporting the capture team during bid preparation to ensuring flawless execution in the field. This is a leadership role where you will mentor a dedicated team of project professionals, championing the PM@Siemens methodology to deliver world-class Protection, Control, and Automation solutions to our industrial and distribution customers.

This role will be based out of our Hebburn office, 2-3 days per week on a hybrid working basis. Travel to other Siemens sites and customers locations in the UK will also be required as the need arises.

Driving Portfolio Success: Taking full P&L responsibility, ensuring we meet and exceed EBIT targets through innovative Value-Added Management (VAM) and rigorous cost control.

Leading & Developing People: Acting as a line manager and mentor, you will recruit, resource-plan, and develop a multi-disciplined team, ensuring they have the skills to meet future market demands.

Championing Excellence: Implementing PM@Siemens processes to minimise Non-Conformance Costs (NCCs) and driving continuous improvement initiatives like Digitalisation and Process optimisation.

Building Partnerships: Developing deep, long-term relationships with key customers, identifying opportunities beyond the initial scope to add value to their operations and grow our business.

Ensuring Safety & Quality: Maintaining an uncompromising focus on HSE legislation and corporate standards to protect our people and our reputation.

What We Are Looking For

• Significant knowledge of the Distribution & Industrial Protection, Control and Automation sectors.
• Proven success in managing multi-disciplined teams throughout the Project lifecycle.
• Strong understanding of project management methodologies including risk/opportunity, claim management and contract negotiation.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Excellent motivational and decision making skills.

• A degree in Electrical Engineering (or a related subject) or equivalent industry experience.
• Certified accreditation as a Project Manager (e.g., APM or similar).
• Prior leadership experience.

What can we offer?

• Performance-Based Bonus: Enjoy an annual bonus linked to the company's performance.
