The Energy unit delivers services to clients globally across several sectors including hydropower, nuclear, waste, renewable generation and transmission & distribution networks. Together we provide integrated engineering and project management services across the project lifecycle – from concept and design to construction and operations, to decommissioning or repowering and life extension. Together with our clients, we're helping to deliver the energy transition globally.

Due to continued growth and high demand of our services in the UK and Ireland, we are looking to expand our team with a Renewables Project Manager to join our Renewable Energy team in the UK.

You will lead the delivery of wind owner's engineering projects for clients in the UK, Ireland and worldwide, ensuring they are appropriately resourced, delivered on time and budget as well as supporting our clients to increase the project value whilst reducing the risks.

The role may also involve preparation of bids for new work and participation on advisory projects.
