The Opportunity An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Project Construction & Commissioning Manager (PCCM) following an internal promotion within our team. Working across major energy infrastructure projects, including offshore wind grid connections, HVDC systems, substations, power transmission and power generation projects, you will provide leadership across the Construction & Commissioning scope from project handover through to successful execution and close-out.

We're looking for someone who takes ownership, identifies challenges and opportunities before they arise, and can balance site-level priorities with wider project and business objectives.

The successful candidate will be comfortable leading complex stakeholder discussions, driving decisions, influencing outcomes and delivering successful project results through a pragmatic and solutions-focused approach.
