Senior Construction Manager
Senior Construction Manager / Director
Project: Pumped Storage Hydro – £1bn+ National Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) Location: Scottish Highlands | Fully Remote (with site-based periods)
About the Role
Lead the construction of one of the UK’s most significant renewable energy infrastructure projects—a pumped storage hydro scheme valued over £1 billion, critical for energy security, grid stability, and net-zero transition.
As the client-side Senior Construction Manager / Head of Site Delivery, you will oversee multi-billion-pound development spanning heavy civil engineering, tunnelling, electromechanical installation, grid infrastructure, and commissioning. This role requires strategic leadership, complex programme execution, and interface coordination to ensure safe, sustainable, and on-time delivery.
This is not a traditional construction management role—it’s an opportunity to shape energy infrastructure for decades, influence project strategy, and drive major contracting stakeholders in delivering a landmark national energy project.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Delivery Leadership
- Provide visible leadership across all site activities, embodying world-class health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards.
- Shape and design the client-side site delivery organisation, recruiting, developing, and inspiring a high-performing team.
- Drive decision-making as a senior leadership team member, balancing cost, programme, quality, and risk objectives.
