Project Manager – HV/LV Electrical Projects

Derby | Up to £60,000 + Company Car + Benefits


NEOS Engineering Recruitment are working with a well-established and growing electrical engineering business that is looking to appoint a Project Manager to join their Derby-based team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with electrical project management experience to join a company delivering critical infrastructure projects across the UK, working with some of the country's most recognised organisations.

The successful candidate will initially focus on planning, managing and delivering projects, before progressing into commercial responsibilities such as quotations and estimating as they develop within the business. Whilst HV experience is advantageous, it is not essential, as full support and mentoring will be provided by an experienced team.

The Role

As Project Manager, you'll take ownership of multiple electrical projects from initial planning through to completion, ensuring works are delivered safely, on time and within budget. You'll coordinate engineers, subcontractors and suppliers whilst maintaining excellent communication with clients throughout the lifecycle of each project.

Projects typically include:

  • HV/LV substation installations
  • High Voltage maintenance works
  • Low Voltage electrical installations
  • Electrical infrastructure upgrades
  • Industrial and commercial electrical projects
  • Renewable energy installations

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

Previous High Voltage experience would be beneficial but is not essential. If you have the right attitude and electrical project background, full support will be provided to develop your HV knowledge.

This is primarily an office-based position from the company's Derby office. Whilst there is flexibility around working hours where appropriate, the business values collaboration and believes the best project outcomes come from teams working closely together. Travel to customer sites across the UK will be required for surveys and project management. Overnight stays are infrequent but may occasionally be necessary depending on project location.

If you're an Electrical Project Manager looking for a long-term opportunity with a growing business delivering high-profile infrastructure projects across the UK, we'd love to hear from you.
