Are you an ambitious Project Manager ready to drive major connections and exceed customer expectations in one of the UK's leading networks? UK Power Networks is seeking a dedicated Project Manager to join our Major Connections team based in our Borehamwood office. This is a permanent position reporting to the Senior Project Manager, where you'll be at the heart of delivering innovative solutions for LPN and Developers.

What sets us apart? We offer a highly competitive salary of £80,574, Outer London Allowance, and a 3% bonus. Our benefits package goes beyond the ordinary, including 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, additional reservist leave, Simply Health and Private Medical Cover, and a personal pension plan with up to 10% employer contribution.

As Project Manager, you will take ownership of the full life cycle of several major connections projects, from initial enquiry through to post-investment appraisal, ensuring both pre- and post-contract management aligns with UK Power Networks' Project Governance and Control process. With safety as your number one priority, you'll manage each project through enquiry, quotation, and completion. You'll liaise with delivery partners and asset management teams, ensuring robust pricing, delivery, and strategies that fulfil customer requirements. Financial control is key, as you'll be responsible for ensuring projects deliver planned gross margins and comply with Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.

You will produce quotations that meet regulatory compliance (LC12, LC15, LC15a), and work with customers and government offices to progress long-term strategies for new load connections in expanding development areas. The role demands full responsibility for the success of your projects, including negotiating contracts and terms, collaborating across departments for a unified approach, communicating technical aspects of LV, HV and EHV networks, and delivering presentations to both customers and senior management. You will also be responsible for managing ITT processes with Procurement for cable and plant installations. Your qualifications may include a HNC in Electrical Engineering (or similar), though we welcome applicants with strong project management or distribution network experience. Experience with Project Governance and Control, and a commercial mindset, are advantageous. Above all, you must demonstrate a commitment to excellent customer service, teamwork, and the courage to challenge the status quo.
