Project Manager (Power) — Mansfield Farm

Ready to shape the future of the UK’s power infrastructure?

At OCU Group, we’re driving the UK’s energy transition forward — delivering complex power infrastructure projects that keep the country connected, sustainable, and future-ready.

Based out of our Mansfield Farm office, this Project Manager role is your chance to take ownership of exciting projects across grid connections, transmission and distribution works, and renewable energy integration — all while helping us set new standards in safety, quality, and delivery.

What you’ll be doing

• Lead power projects from kick-off to completion: substations, HV/LV infrastructure, grid connections and more.
• Build and manage robust project plans, budgets, risk registers and schedules.
• Oversee procurement, contractor and supplier management.
• Champion safety and compliance, ensuring projects meet UK regulations and highest quality standards.
• Liaise with DNOs, IDNOs, National Grid, clients and regulators — becoming the key face of the project.
• Monitor project performance, control costs and identify efficiency opportunities.
• Lead project meetings and drive clear, timely communication across all stakeholders.
• Tackle technical and operational challenges on-site with a proactive mindset.

About you

• Proven track record in delivering power or energy infrastructure projects (HV/LV, substations, renewables or grid upgrades).
• Strong knowledge of UK power regulations, DNO/IDNO processes and industry standards.
• Project Management qualification (PRINCE2, APM, PMP) and ideally an engineering degree (or equivalent experience).
• Excellent commercial acumen, budget management and cost control skills.
• Confident communicator and leader, skilled in building trust and collaboration.
• Holds a full UK driving licence and happy to travel to project sites.

Even better if you also bring

• SMSTS or similar health & safety certification.
• Familiarity with NEC contracts.
• Experience on renewable energy projects (solar, wind, battery storage).
• Working towards or achieved Chartered Engineer status.

Why join OCU?

Our vision? To be the UK’s leading energy transition and utilities contractor.

We’re innovating, investing and growing — and we’re looking for people who share our passion for solving complex challenges, driving sustainability, and making real impact.
