Ready to lead major Smart Buildings projects that make a real impact for customers and communities? In this senior role, you’ll be at the forefront of delivering intelligent, low carbon building solutions across West London.

• Driving continuous improvement, ensuring quality standards are maintained, documentation is completed to a high standard, and project processes are consistently followed.

What we’re looking for:

• Strong project delivery experience in Smart Buildings, controls, BEMS, or a related technical environment, with the ability to manage multiple live projects.
• Proven leadership experience with an ability to guide teams, develop talent, and maintain high standards of performance and safety.
• Excellent stakeholder and customer‑management skills, with confidence representing SSE on site and solving challenges collaboratively.
• Commercial awareness with experience in budgeting, forecasting, contract management, and risk mitigation.
• Someone based in West London who can travel across the South East, with flexibility to be regularly on site as the main SSE project presence in support of our delivery teams.
