Milford RES is currently supporting a major infrastructure programme in the North West and is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of a significant carbon capture pipeline scheme.

This is a high-profile major projects opportunity, responsible for managing the delivery of complex pipeline infrastructure as part of the UK's growing carbon capture and energy transition landscape.

The Role

As Senior Project Manager, you will take overall responsibility for the effective delivery of a major pipeline package, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, contractors, stakeholders and supply chain partners from project development through to completion.

You will provide strong leadership across the project lifecycle, ensuring that programmes are delivered safely, efficiently, to specification and in line with agreed commercial and project objectives.

• Leading the delivery of a major pipeline infrastructure project from construction through to completion.
• Managing project teams, contractors, consultants and key stakeholders.
• Developing and maintaining detailed project programmes, budgets and delivery plans.
• Managing project risks, issues, change and interfaces.
• Providing strong leadership across engineering, construction, commercial, procurement, HSE and project controls functions.
• Managing contractor performance and ensuring delivery against agreed milestones.
• Driving a strong safety culture throughout project delivery.
• Coordinating interfaces between pipeline works and wider project infrastructure.
• Reporting project progress, risks, performance and forecasts to senior management.
• Supporting commercial management, contract administration and change control.
• Ensuring compliance with relevant industry standards, legislation and project requirements.

About You

We are looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager / Project Director-level professional with a proven background delivering complex infrastructure projects.

• A strong understanding of construction and project delivery methodologies.
• Experience managing budgets, programmes, risk and commercial interfaces.
• A strong understanding of HSE requirements within major projects.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills.
• Relevant project management or engineering qualifications are desirable.

Experience of carbon capture, CO₂ transportation, hydrogen, energy transition or other major energy infrastructure projects would be advantageous, but is not essential where strong pipeline/oil & gas project delivery experience can be demonstrated.

Package

• Opportunity to work on a major UK energy infrastructure programme
• Contract engagement may be considered for exceptional applicants
