A Tier 1 infrastructure contractor is one of five delivery partners on National Grid's £1.2bn ETP overhead line framework.

You'll run your own reconductoring schemes from ECI to handover, with Senior Project Manager roles also open for people already at that level.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

You'll take overhead line schemes from early contractor involvement through construction to handover, owning safety, quality, programme and cost across the lifecycle.

The work is reconductoring and upgrades on existing transmission routes, replacing conductors so the network can carry more power without building new lines.

You'll manage subcontractors, site teams and stakeholders, and run NEC3/NEC4 contract administration on your schemes, including early warnings, change control and compensation events.

There's a clear route from Project Manager to Senior Project Manager and on to Project Director as the framework builds out to 2031.

ABOUT YOU

  • You already run overhead line, substation or cable projects, or major infrastructure schemes with skills that transfer
  • You want framework work with a long pipeline behind it, not a one-off project
  • You're ready to own schemes end to end rather than a slice of one
  • You're comfortable working hybrid, with regular time on site across England and Wales

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

  • Proven Project Manager experience in transmission, energy, utilities or wider infrastructure
  • Working knowledge of NEC3/NEC4, including early warnings, change control and compensation events
  • Strong leadership of internal teams, subcontractors and stakeholders
  • Commercial awareness across budgets, forecasting and cost control
  • Sound knowledge of UK health and safety requirements

THE INTERVIEW PROCESS

  • Technical and programme-focused first interview
  • Behavioural and leadership second interview
