We have a fantastic opportunity for Project Managers to join the SSEN Transmission Capital Delivery team and lead projects in construction phases on exciting large capital projects across North of Scotland, to support Scotland's Net Zero ambitions. These are of varying scale and complexity with typical project values ranging from £20m - £500m+. Interested to find out more about our projects? Check out our Pathway to 2030 portfolio information.
The key responsibilities involved include:
- Leading the SSE team and managing multiple external contractors, to ensure project excellence is achieved and we deliver on our promises.
- Managing the development and execution of large capital projects, ensuring the safe delivery to programme, cost and the necessary quality.
- Ensuring the project adheres to our Safety Management Systems, best practices and the SSE Large Capital Projects (LCP) Governance processes.
- Demonstrate alignment with the SSE Safety Culture and core values.
What do I need?
- A strong project management, engineering or construction background and understanding of applicable health and safety regulations including CDM regulations.
- Excellent communication and leadership skills with a proven track record in the successful delivery of large projects.
- Contractual management experience (NEC3 experience is preferable), with the ability to forecast and control costs as well as develop and manage integrated project programmes.
- Due to the location of our projects, there is a need to have a driving licence and, for delivery focussed roles, a willingness to travel to site 2-3 days a week during construction.
- Experience managing large electricity transmission projects would be great but, experience in managing major projects from other industries, coupled with the desire and ability to learn quickly is equally valid.
Lack experience but are still interested?
If you have a background in project management within another industry or are looking to move into a project management role, please do apply. We may be able to offer an Assistant Project Manager role with the ability to transition to a Project Manager role once the necessary experience has been gained.
