Job description

Senior Project Delivery Manager


Energy Infrastructure & Battery Storage | Hybrid (UK)


Attention


Are you a senior project delivery professional who wants full accountability for complex energy projects — without being reduced to governance, reporting or facilitation?


This role offers genuine ownership of delivery, where leadership, judgement and decision-making sit firmly with you.


Interest


Our client delivers complex, grid-connected energy infrastructure projects across the UK, including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).


They are seeking a Senior Project Delivery Manager to take end-to-end responsibility for the safe, compliant and successful delivery of projects from detailed design through construction, commissioning and handover into operations.


This is a senior role with real delivery accountability, working across multiple live projects within a technically demanding environment.


The role is primarily office-based with regular engagement at site during key delivery phases.


Desire


In this role, you’ll act as the senior delivery lead across a portfolio of energy infrastructure projects, including:


  • Owning programme, cost, quality, safety and risk across projects
  • Leading delivery from detailed design through construction and commissioning
  • Managing contractors and consultants under NEC4 contracts
  • Ensuring strong governance, reporting and control throughout delivery
  • Acting as the key interface between internal stakeholders and external partners
  • Driving projects through to operational handover with confidence and clarity


This role suits experienced delivery leaders who enjoy owning outcomes, making informed decisions and being close to delivery — not managing from a distance.


The background that fits


You don’t need to tick every box, but this role will suit you if you have:


  • Proven experience delivering complex infrastructure or energy projects end-to-end
  • Strong understanding of contract management, ideally NEC4
  • Experience working with multi-disciplinary teams and external contractors
  • A sound appreciation of health, safety and regulatory compliance in construction environments
  • A practical, delivery-focused mindset with the confidence to lead under pressure
  • Experience within energy, power, renewables or grid-connected infrastructure is beneficial, but not essential.


Salary

Up to £90,000, depending on experience and overall fit.


Location & working pattern

Hybrid working model with regular travel as required.

Preferred base: North West, with access to the Warrington office.
