Job description

Ready to take ownership of an HV operation and help grow it?

We’re working with an established specialist in the high-voltage power sector, delivering critical electrical infrastructure and engineering solutions for a strong portfolio of clients.

They’re looking for an experienced HV Contracts Manager to take the lead in Aberdeen — someone who can combine technical HV expertise, commercial awareness and leadership to deliver projects successfully while helping build the next phase of the business.

What’s in it for you?

You’ll have a genuine opportunity to shape and grow the HV operation, rather than simply manage projects. You’ll have ownership across:

• HV project delivery – ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and profitably
• Business growth – identifying new opportunities, developing client relationships and helping build a strong pipeline
• Commercial management – preparing quotations, tenders and project controls
• Leadership – setting goals, developing engineers and supporting the wider operations team
• Client relationships – becoming a key point of contact and building long-term partnerships
• Safety & quality – maintaining the highest standards across all HV activities

What are they looking for?

You’ll ideally have:

• 5+ years’ experience managing an electrical/HV engineering operation or business
• Strong technical understanding of HV systems and engineering
• Proven commercial and project management experience
• Experience with tenders, quotations and business development
• Strong leadership and people-management skills
• Electrical Engineering qualification preferred
• IOSH, SMSTS or equivalent H&S qualification

The opportunity

This would suit someone who is ready to move beyond simply delivering projects and wants to have a real influence on an HV business, with responsibility for both operations and growth.
