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 a wealth of experience in managing the entire project lifecycle, from the initial 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, and to do this 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. Whilst energy-specific experience isn't essential, proven experience managing large and complex projects worth £100m + from concept through to FEED is.

Flexibility: For us, your ability to do the job is more important than where or when you do it. We are happy for this role to be based from anywhere in the UK, and are open to discussing a working pattern that works for both you and us.
Key Responsibilities

• Lead the day-to-day project management of multiple onshore projects during the 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 through to completion.
  
• Experience within energy infrastructure projects is of interest, but definitely not essential.
  
• Understanding of the UK planning system, EIA regulations, and land acquisition processes.
  
• Project management qualifications (e.g. APM, PRINCE2) desirable but not essential.
  
• Able to manage competing deadlines across multiple projects.
  

Benefits

We believe you should be rewarded fairly for the work that you do, so in addition to a competitive salary, you will also receive an enhanced benefits package that includes company profit share.
