Energy Jobline is the largest and fastest growing global Energy Job Board and Energy Hub. We have an audience reach of over 7 million energy professionals, 400,000+ monthly advertised global energy and engineering jobs, and work with the leading energy companies worldwide.

We focus on the Oil & Gas, Renewables, Engineering, Power, and Nuclear markets as well as emerging technologies in EV, Battery, and Fusion. We are committed to ensuring that we offer the most exciting career opportunities from around the world for our jobseekers.

An award‑winning civil engineering and renewables subcontractor is looking for a Project Manager to join their growing team. With a surge in new work and secured frameworks with major energy and renewables clients, as well as several local authorities, this business is scaling rapidly and needs a capable, hands‑on leader to take ownership of key projects. From rail infrastructure to renewables and public sector civils, you'll work across a wide variety of technically engaging projects — all while having a direct impact on the company’s direction and future success. This is a full project lifecycle role. You’ll be involved from tender through to delivery, running multiple civil and renewables projects with minimal supervision. The environment is fast‑paced and dynamic — ideal for someone who thrives on ownership and action. They’re looking for someone who gets stuck in and uses their initiative. You’ll be solutions‑focused, commercially aware, and confident leading teams and building lasting relationships with stakeholders.

What You’ll Do

• Lead all phases of projects — from bids and planning to delivery and handover
• Manage budgets, timelines, resources, and risks with commercial acumen
• Maintain high standards in health & safety, quality, and environmental compliance
• Collaborate with internal teams, subcontractors, and external stakeholders
• Build strong client relationships and become a trusted point of contact
• Oversee site personnel and manage suppliers, plant, and materials
• Travel to project sites (UK-wide)

Who You Are

• Experienced Project Manager from a civil engineering and/or renewables background
• Proactive and solutions‑focused — you take initiative without needing to be asked
• Confident working across the full project lifecycle
• Able to lead and manage teams while maintaining strong client rapport
• Organised and commercially savvy, with a track record of delivering on time and within budget
• Comfortable working flexibly, occasionally including weekends or travel
• Degree‑qualified in a relevant discipline
• Holding a current PTS card would be a benefit

Why This Role?

• Influence: You’ll be a key voice in decision‑making, helping shape the future of the business
• Ownership: You’ll run your own projects with full responsibility and autonomy
• Variety: Work across rail, local authority civils, and renewables frameworks
• Growth: Be part of a growing team with real opportunities to progress

Location: Office‑based in Central Scotland (with UK travel)
