Build a new Power T&D business across the North. Your strategy, your team, your P&L.
We're working with a well-backed national infrastructure group launching a brand new Power T&D division covering the North of England. This is a blank canvas: you decide how it's built, who's in it, and where the work comes from.
What you'll do
- Build the business unit from the ground up, with full P&L ownership
- Win and deliver substation and T&D work across DNO, IDNO, ICP and private networks
- Set the strategy, the target markets and the operating model
- Hire and lead your own senior team, growing to a significant headcount as the division scales
- Represent the business with clients across the northern networks
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll need
- Senior leadership experience in UK power T&D, ideally including time inside a DNO or network operator
- A track record of winning work, not just delivering it
- Commercial credibility: P&L ownership, bid strategy, contract negotiation
- Established relationships across the northern electricity networks
- The appetite to build something rather than inherit it
Also relevant if you've worked
- Substations, overhead lines, cabling, grid connections, capital delivery, connections, network investment, HV/EHV, or at Head of, Regional Manager, General Manager, Operations Director or Business Unit Director level.

- Genuine autonomy: this is your business to build
- The chance to shape a new division at the start, not step into someone else's
