Job description

Our client is a global leader in high-voltage electrical engineering, playing a key role in powering the transition to a more sustainable future. They operate at the forefront of renewable energy, data centers, and complex utility infrastructure projects, driven by innovation and continuous improvement.

Their culture is built on safety, collaboration, and respect - values that shape how teams work, lead, and grow. Growth is viewed not just as a goal, but as a mindset.

The Engineering Project Manager (EPM) is responsible for ensuring smooth engineering delivery across the full EPC lifecycle of a project. The role focuses on programme alignment, cross-discipline coordination, procurement integration, and technical-commercial interface.

The EPM does not replace discipline Leads or the Project Manager. Discipline Leads retain technical sign-off authority, and the Project Manager retains overall commercial and contractual ownership.

• Lead and deliver high-quality electrical engineering outputs across active projects simultaneously, ensuring consistency and technical excellence.
• Lead the delivery of high-quality electrical engineering outputs across multiple active projects, ensuring technical excellence and consistency.
• Drive the seamless alignment of all engineering disciplines to ensure fully coordinated, construction-ready Issue for Construction (IFC) design packages.
• Own all engineering milestones and review cycles to eliminate delays, proactively challenging sequencing and dependencies to protect the critical path.
• Chair all key project meetings, including weekly internal Design Team Meetings (DTMs), regular client-facing sessions, and Long Lead Equipment (LLE)/ Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) coordination meetings.
• Monitor engineering budgets, assess the cost impact of design changes, and review technical variation orders prior to submission.
• Track LLE risks—including Transformers, Switchgear, and Protection Panels—and support Extension of Time (EOT) claims where necessary.
• Act as the primary technical lead for client and utility engagement, providing regular progress updates to planning and construction teams.
• Oversee the engineering-to-construction transition and manage the IFC release strategy to align with onsite sequencing.
• Resolve complex cross-discipline coordination issues and manage technical interface challenges between vendors and the project team.

Requirements

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline. Masters preferred.
• 5+ years’ experience in HV/MV EPC project environments.
• Strong understanding of Primary, Secondary, and Power Systems design processes.
• Experience managing multidisciplinary engineering coordination.
• Strong knowledge of EPC lifecycle (Design, Procurement, Construction, Energization).
• Commercial awareness with understanding of programme and contract impacts.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Construction mindset with understanding of sequencing and buildability.
• Take full ownership of the engineering programme to deliver all outputs ahead of-need dates, ensuring zero engineering-driven delays to the project timeline.
• Coordinate the release of IFC packages to align precisely with onsite construction sequences and critical milestones.
• Enforce rigorous change control procedures to protect project scope, cost, and schedule from unapproved or unassessed design variations.
• Lead engagement with clients, consultants, and site teams to foster collaboration and ensure the rapid resolution of technical roadblocks.
• Drive early technical input and accurate specifications to secure long-lead items, effectively mitigating supply-chain and lead-time risks.
• Strong focus on professional development and long-term career growth
• Opportunity to work on high-profile, technically complex energy and infrastructure projects
