About the Role
At National Grid Ventures, our Interconnectors business is driving the transition to a cleaner, more secure and affordable energy future. Our vision is clear: to accelerate a clean, secure and affordable energy future through world-class interconnection and offshore assets.
We are now looking for a Project Manager to join our Interconnector Construction Directorate, playing a key role in the delivery of CAPEX projects linked to the lifetime strategy of the IFA interconnector.
This is a highly varied and impactful role where you will take ownership of projects from concept through to completion—delivering safely, on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
The role is based onsite at IFA1 in Sellindge, Kent, so we are ideally looking for candidates who live within an hour commute of site. The role also comes with a job requirement car and there will be some occasional travel to different sites.
Responsibilities
- Lead refurbishment and replacement projects across the IFA interconnector, ensuring continued reliability and availability for consumers
- Develop and manage detailed project plans, including scope, timelines, resource allocation, and deliverables
- Take full accountability for delivering projects to time, cost and quality, ensuring key milestones are achieved
- Provide regular and accurate project reporting, including:
- Financial forecasting
- SHESQ (Safety, Health, Environment, Security, and Quality) performance
- Progress tracking
- Risk management
- Lead and support the investment process through pre-construction, delivery and project closure, ensuring governance is maintained throughout
- Own and embed safety, health, environment, security and quality (SHESQ) standards across your projects, demonstrating visible leadership and driving continuous improvement
- Foster a strong safety culture where all team members feel empowered to raise concerns
- Drive proactive stakeholder and customer engagement to ensure successful project outcomes and high levels of satisfaction
- Lead commissioning strategy for IFA construction activities
