Partner with Asset & Operations teams within a live HVDC interconnector environment
Mentor and develop team members, supporting long-term capability growth
Manage significant Capex budgets, ensuring delivery against financial targets
Drive efficiencies while maintaining scope and quality
Provide appropriate technical and commercial challenge to ensure optimal delivery outcomes
Champion a strong safety culture, aligned to our ‘Safe to Say’ ethos
Ensure compliance with all health, safety, environmental and CDM regulations
Promote best practice, visibility and open communication across project teams

What you'll need

Proven experience leading construction or infrastructure projects
Strong project management capability across multiple, high-value projects
Deep knowledge of CDM, safety and environmental standards
Experience managing contracts and procurement through the full project lifecycle
Strong financial and cost control experience
Excellent stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to collaborate and remove blockers
A track record of developing teams and delivering high-quality outcomes
Strong analytical and decision-making capability

#LI-HA1 #LI-HYBRID

What you'll get

A competitive salary between £66,000 - £81,000 per annum – dependent on capability.

As well as your base salary, you will receive a bonus based on personal and company performance and a competitive contributory pension scheme where we will double match your contribution to a maximum company contribution of 12%. You will also have access to a number of flexible benefits such as a share incentive plan, salary sacrifice car and technology schemes, support via employee assistance lines and matched charity giving to name a few.

This role closes on 7th July 2026 at 23:59, however we encourage candidates to submit their application as early as possible and not wait until the published closing date as this can vary.

We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace for all. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates – we make appointments purely on merit, assessed against objective selection criteria. We support flexible working and will make reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process should you have any physical or mental impairment which may affect your ability to participate in the process.

Please note that in most cases, National Grid is unable to offer sponsorship for employment under the UK points-based immigration system. As such, applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK without requiring sponsorship now or in the future under the UK points-based immigration system. However, in exceptional circumstances where there is a clear and demonstrable need for specialist skills that cannot be sourced from the local labour market, National Grid may consider offering sponsorship. All applications are welcome from candidates who meet these requirements, regardless of race, nationality, or ethnic origin.
