Project Manager – Utilities & Renewables | Mission-Critical Projects | Mostly Remote

Drive Innovation in Critical Infrastructure!

Our client is experiencing rapid growth and is on the hunt for a dedicated and dynamic Project Manager to lead high-impact projects in the Utilities & Renewables sector.

If you have a hands-on background in IT infrastructure installation—think large-scale structured cabling and fibre optic systems—and have since stepped into project management, this is your opportunity to lead complex, high-stakes projects across Energy, Police, and Critical National Infrastructure.

Why This Role?

You won’t just be managing projects—you’ll be delivering mission-critical infrastructure where precision and reliability matter. Our clients operate in environments where delays have real-world consequences—so your work will be pivotal to their success.

What You’ll Be Working On

From designing robust network infrastructures to securing critical national assets, your projects will include:

• On & Offshore Renewables – Supporting the transition to sustainable energy.
• Cabling & Network Infrastructure – Delivering large-scale connectivity solutions.
• Network Security – Ensuring resilient, secure operations.
• CCTV & ANPR Camera Systems – Powering security and surveillance.
• Onsite Communications & Connectivity – Enabling seamless operations.

Your Role & Responsibilities

• Lead large industrial projects for top-tier Energy clients.
• Own project delivery—on time, on budget, and with risk managed.
• Balance multiple customer projects with conflicting priorities.
• Work with internal teams to allocate resources effectively.
• Maintain proactive and transparent communication with clients—good news or bad.
• Report on key project metrics—billing, profitability, and risks.
• Manage Health & Safety in potentially hazardous industrial locations.

What You’ll Need

• Full UK driving license (and ability to obtain Security Clearance - NPPV3 SC).
• Mostly remote with occasional work in West Yorkshire (travel covered).
• Willingness to work onsite at customer locations when needed.
• Flexibility for some evenings/weekends when projects demand.

Must-Have Skills

• Exceptional communication & leadership skills.
• Strong commercial awareness & financial acumen.
• Highly organised with excellent time management.
• Naturally proactive, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure.
• Experience managing high-value (£1M+) infrastructure projects.

Bonus Points For

• 5+ years managing large-scale projects in Energy/Utilities.
• Hands-on technical background in IT infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of Waterfall, Agile, and Prince2 methodologies.
• Expertise in MS Excel & MS Project for reporting & analysis.

Why Join Us?

Work on projects that truly matter in national infrastructure.

Mostly remote role with travel expenses covered.

Join a team that values precision, innovation, and reliability.

Take ownership of projects that shape the future of energy and security.
