About the Company: Our client is an established and accredited Independent Connections Provider (ICP), specialising in the electrical design, installation, and commissioning of LV and HV systems up to 132kV. With over a decade in the industry and a highly experienced team of qualified electricians, fitters, and engineers, they deliver substation builds, extensions, and cable route projects for major clients including National Grid and SSEN. The business is on a clear growth trajectory and is currently working towards achieving Tier 1 contractor status - this is a pivotal moment to join and help shape that journey.
The Opportunity: This is a newly created senior leadership role, brought about by growth.

You will lead a team of 5 Senior Project Managers delivering electrical infrastructure projects across the UK, working closely with the Director and playing a key role in the company's evolution towards Tier 1 status. There is a clear and genuine pathway to Director level for the right person looking to build a long-term career here.
Key Responsibilities:
- Take full ownership of operations, managing and supporting a team of Senior Project Managers (5 direct reports)
- Oversee delivery of substation builds, extensions, and cable route projects, ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time, and within budget
- Act as a key point of contact for major clients including DNOs and National Grid
- Support the business's strategic ambition to achieve Tier 1 contractor status
- Provide strong, hands-on leadership to project teams, with a focus on developing talent and driving operational excellence
- Work closely with the Director on business planning and long-term growth strategy
What We're Looking For:
- Background in construction, contracting, or electrical infrastructure
- Experience working with DNO's, National Grid, or SSEN
- Substation experience essential, ideally including 132kV and 33kV
- Circa 8-10 years' relevant industry experience
- Experience with a Tier 1 contractor would be highly advantageous
- A leader who is looking for a long-term role with genuine progression to director level, rather than a lateral move
