About the Role
We're looking for an experienced HV/LV Connections Project Manager to take full ownership of electrical connections projects from point of sale right through to energisation and final sign-off.
You'll be the single point of accountability for programme, budget, technical compliance, health & safety, and client communication — managing both Low Voltage (LV) and High Voltage (HV) connection projects concurrently, each following its own distinct delivery process.
If you thrive on running complex projects end-to-end, know your way around DNO/IDNO processes, and enjoy being the go-to person for customers, subcontractors and statutory bodies alike, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
- Taking ownership of projects immediately after sale, confirming scope, contract and customer requirements
- Acting as lead contact for customers, internal teams, subcontractors and statutory bodies
- Instructing and managing the design team to ensure output meets scope and regulatory requirements
- Owning all DNO/IDNO relationships — applications, queries, negotiations and approvals
- Building and maintaining project programmes from design through to energisation
- Owning project budgets: cost tracking, forecasting, variance management and reporting
- Ensuring works comply with health & safety legislation, CDM Regulations and internal SHEQ policy
- Coordinating site resources, subcontractors and materials procurement
- Managing variations, change control and customer communication on scope or cost changes
- Leading project close-out, including compiling completion/O&M packs
- Reporting project status, risk and financials to management

On the HV side, you'll additionally handle substation design, protection and control philosophy, long-lead equipment procurement, and coordination of DNO witness testing and switching programmes.

Essential
- Demonstrable experience managing electrical connections projects through the full project lifecycle, from point of sale to energisation and completion
- Strong working knowledge of both LV and HV connection processes, including DNO/IDNO application and approval procedures
- Experience managing design teams/consultants and reviewing electrical designs for compliance
- Solid understanding of ESQCR, IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671), and DNO/IDNO technical specifications (e.g. G81, G99/G100, ENA guidance)
