The projects will range from large scale complex single site projects to multi location extensive work programmes over extended periods.

Package:

• Salary - 35k-75k (dependent on experience)
• Working conditions - Hybrid (split across home, office and site)

Selected Skills/Experience:

• Familiar with electricity distribution or transmission systems through previous experience or have a utility project management background
• Applicants with transferrable skills from other suitable backgrounds, for example power generation, military engineering or mechanical engineering will be considered
