Project Manager – Energy Performance & Decarbonisation Projects
Location: Role available in the North and South
Lead projects that are shaping the UK's journey to Net Zero.
We're looking for an experienced Project Manager to join our growing Energy Services team, delivering complex Energy Performance Contract (EPC) and decarbonisation projects from concept through to completion.
This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of high-value mechanical and electrical engineering projects that make a genuine difference, helping some of the UK's largest healthcare and public sector organisations reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency and future-proof their estates.
The Role

Working alongside Project Engineers, Commercial Managers, Planners and Construction Managers, you'll lead multidisciplinary teams to ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the highest quality standards.
