We're working with a growing HV/EHV power infrastructure business, looking for an experienced Operations Director to lead operational delivery as it scales into National Grid-level work. This is a genuinely rare opportunity - you'll have the scope to build your own team from the ground up, shape the direction of the business, and take on a long-term stake as it develops.
Open on background - Senior Project Managers, Heads of Construction, Operations Managers and Project Directors will all be considered, provided you can demonstrate the operational and commercial capability to lead at a senior level.
What you'll be doing:
- Taking full operational ownership of live HV/EHV infrastructure delivery
- Building and hiring your own delivery team as the business expands into National Grid-scale work
- Overseeing commercial, programme and safety performance across multiple live projects
- Supporting major live tenders, including a data centre scheme and a major utilities contract
- Playing a leading role in planned civils expansion into new regions
- Sitting as a senior voice in the leadership team, with real influence over the business's direction
What we're looking for:
- Strong operational leadership background in HV/EHV, power infrastructure, or utilities framework delivery
- National Grid or NG contractor-side experience beneficial, not essential
- A track record of commercial and programme delivery across multiple concurrent projects
- Experience building or scaling a team - or clear ambition and capability to do so
- Comfortable managing your own diary and working autonomously
- Genuine ambition to grow into a senior leadership role and invest long-term in the business
What's on offer:
- £120k+ basic (negotiable)
- Negotiable bonus scheme
- 3-5% pension
- Company vehicle or car allowance
- Remote / Hybrid working - offices across the UK
- Full autonomy over your working pattern
