• Establish and lead high-performing Construction & Commissioning teams, ensuring roles, responsibilities and delivery strategies are clearly defined.
• Lead kick-off meetings and drive alignment across project teams and stakeholders.
• Champion constructability reviews and ensure effective implementation of construction strategies during mobilisation and execution.
• Partner with Project Directors, Site Managers and functional teams to maximise project performance and delivery outcomes.
• Ensure projects are executed safely and in full compliance with contractual, regulatory and HSE requirements.
• Monitor project progress, budgets, forecasts and resource plans, implementing mitigation and recovery measures where required.
• Lead risk and opportunity management activities to drive successful project outcomes.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, subcontractors and key stakeholders, fostering collaboration and trust.
• Support commercial discussions including change management, variations, claims and cost control initiatives.
• Provide clear reporting and strategic insight to senior leadership teams.
• Drive continuous improvement through lessons learned, best practice sharing and operational excellence initiatives.

Your Background

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical or Civil Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Proven experience delivering Construction and/or Commissioning activities within major energy, utilities, industrial, infrastructure or engineering projects.
• Experience within HV, HVDC, substations, transmission & distribution, offshore wind, renewable energy or power generation projects would be highly advantageous.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence, challenge and engage effectively across clients, contractors and project teams.
• Commercial awareness, including exposure to budgeting, forecasting, change management, variations, claims and project performance management.
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and deliver within demanding project environments.
• Strong communication, leadership and relationship-building capabilities.
• A proactive mindset with a proven ability to identify issues early and implement practical solutions.
• Comfortable operating in dynamic, fast-paced project environments with evolving priorities.

• Strong ownership and accountability for project delivery.
• The ability to build credibility and influence stakeholders at all levels.
• Confidence leading challenging conversations and driving critical decisions.
• Commercial awareness combined with a strong delivery mindset.
