Job Description Summary

GE’s Power Conversion & Storage business, part of GE Vernova, provides electrification systems that are critical to customers’ power and energy needs for their high-performance applications. We work with some of the world’s major energy, maritime and industrial organizations, helping to enable a transition to energy efficiency and decarbonization utilizing our specialist motors, drives, energy storage and control technologies.

Job Description

Our project management teams are the success behind some of the world’s highest profile, advanced technology programs, serving a diverse range of clients in the UK and internationally. We now have an opportunity for a talented and experienced Senior Project Manager to join us. If this sounds like your kind of career aspiration, we’d like to hear from you.

The Role

As a Senior Project Manager within GE Power Conversion & Storage, you will be responsible for leading either one major project or a portfolio of projects, delivering critical systems for external customers in a safe, structured, efficient, and timely manner. Our projects are diverse, so you will lead multi-disciplinary project teams to design and implement highly customized solutions.

Building effective working relationships is essential, and you will be the primary contact for your customers, focusing on achieving high customer satisfaction. You will also provide leadership, support, and guidance to your project team, working within a matrix organization structure. Collaboration with your lead engineer, project team, and internal/external stakeholders is key.

You will utilize best practice project management techniques throughout the project lifecycle, including reporting progress, managing change and risks, and controlling costs. You will be responsible for the project’s financial performance, supported by our finance team, and will report progress and forecasts during project reviews. Embracing and deploying the GE lean transformation within the project management context is also expected.

We are looking for

• Substantial experience in delivering integrated system engineering projects in a commercial contracting environment with a focus on customer satisfaction.
• Degree in engineering or scientific field or equivalent experience.
• Project management training and certification.
• Ability to obtain UK Security Clearance at least to ‘Basic’ level.
• Full UK driving license.
• Ability to travel occasionally, domestically and internationally, to customer, supplier, or job site locations.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Microsoft Project.

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Experience with industrial power systems, such as rotating machinery, variable speed drives, power storage, or automation.
• Experience with SAP.
• Knowledge of construction industry standard contracts (e.g., FIDIC, NEC).

You Can Expect From Us

• Challenging and exciting projects.
• A flexible work environment supporting work-life balance and hybrid working options.
• Attractive compensation and flexible benefits, including pension, income protection, private health insurance, and life assurance.
• 26 days of vacation plus bank holidays.
