Description
About The Role
National Grid Ventures Interconnectors is at the heart of UK’s transition to our net zero energy future. We operate several HVDC interconnectors that connect the UK’s energy system to some of our closest neighbours, allowing energy to be imported to and exported from the UK. As well as already owning a portfolio of HVDC Interconnectors, we’re working on developing new projects to ensure that we can meet the UK’s future demands for greener energy solutions.
Interconnectors play an essential role in our net zero future. Between 2020 and 2030, we estimate our interconnectors will help Britain prevent 100 million tonnes of carbon emissions. The North Sea offers an incredible opportunity for the UK and our European neighbours to deliver huge increases in offshore wind, but delivering new offshore wind will require more infrastructure.
We're currently hiring two Senior Project Managers within National Grid Ventures, one to focus on Onshore and Offshore Cable Management and one on Converter station development.
As a Senior Project Manager, you will lead a team responsible for the design and delivery of an allocated programme of work across the full project lifecycle to ensure that projects are delivered to the agreed plan, in accordance with relevant National Grid practices and procedures and always operating to the highest Safety, Health and Environmental & Quality standards.
This includes early engineering contracts and Engineering, Procurement and Construction contracts. You will also support the team in the Development Consent Order for LionLink. You will work across a cross-functional team which will include project managers, external partners and wider team of land, external affairs, legal and consenting experts to ensure the delivery to agreed schedule, budget and quality expectations. You will drive understanding of the process into the project team ensuring lessons learned from each stage are reviewed and shared across Construction.
The roles are hybrid position with our base office in Warwick, we'd expect to see you twice a week in our office and the rest from home you will also be entitled to a job requirement car for this role.
There will also be travel to our sites in Suffolk, West Midlands and East Anglia.
