Job description

Senior Project Manager – Energy Infrastructure

London, United Kingdom | Posted on 19/05/2025

We utilise the collective ability of our team to maximise the effectiveness of critical projects. Our diverse experience as clients and consultants enables us to understand the complexities of these challenges, and we leverage the expertise of our team and company to help clients overcome them.

Job Description

Project manage critical energy infrastructure projects across the UK from home or one of our offices, at times that work for you, whilst supporting our business and teams to grow and develop.

Who are we?

We are Pershing Consultants, a human-centric engineering project partner supporting critical infrastructure development across the UK.

We specialise in the project management of energy infrastructure projects including, but not limited to, solar, wind, energy storage, hydrogen, and nuclear.

We have extensive experience managing the entire project lifecycle, from conceptualisation, site selection, and feasibility studies to engineering design, procurement, construction, and commissioning.

Our team is well-versed in industry regulations and has a proven track record in delivering projects on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality and safety.

The Role

Due to deepening relationships with some of the UK's most influential energy project developers, we need to grow our team. We are looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead on energy-related Nationally Significant Infrastructure Programmes (NSIPs) and help further develop a team of assistant and junior Project Managers. While energy-specific experience isn't essential, proven experience managing large and complex projects worth over £100m from concept through to FEED is required.

Flexibility: Your ability to do the job is more important than where or when you do it. This role can be based anywhere in the UK, and we are open to discussing a working pattern that suits both you and us.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the day-to-day project management of multiple onshore projects during development and consenting stages.
• Coach, mentor, and develop less senior Project Managers across our business.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams, including environmental consultants, planners, land agents, legal advisors, and technical specialists.
• Develop and maintain detailed project plans, trackers, and risk registers.
• Manage stakeholder relationships, including clients, local authorities, statutory consultees, and landowners.
• Support the preparation and submission of planning applications and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs).
• Report regularly on project progress, budget, and key risks to senior stakeholders.

Requirements

• UK-based project management experience is essential.
• Proven experience managing complex projects from conception to completion.
• Experience within energy infrastructure projects is of interest but not essential.
• Understanding of the UK planning system, EIA regulations, and land acquisition processes.
• Able to manage competing deadlines across multiple projects.

We believe you should be fairly rewarded for your work. In addition to a competitive salary, you will receive an enhanced benefits package that includes profit sharing.
