An exciting opportunity for a Senior Project Manager to lead a nationally significant, multi-year gas infrastructure upgrade focused on reducing emissions and supporting the UK’s transition to a lower-carbon energy network. This four-year Design & Build project involves the installation of a new, low-emission gas turbine–driven compressor train at a critical Above Ground Installation (AGI) site within the national gas transmission system.

The first two years will focus on design, offering a hybrid working arrangement. The final two years transition to site-based delivery, overseeing construction and commissioning. This is a strategically important project aligned with the Medium Combustion Plant Directive (MCPD), playing a key role in futureproofing UK energy supply and improving air quality.

• Maintain strong stakeholder engagement across engineering, commercial, client and regulatory interfaces.

• Select, appoint, and manage subcontractors to ensure safe, compliant and high-quality delivery of civil, mechanical, electrical and EC&I scopes.

• Monitor project financials, ensuring cost control, forecasting accuracy, and achievement of target margins.

• Promote and enforce high standards of health, safety, environmental and quality performance across all project phases.

• Provide regular reporting to senior leadership and ensure proactive management of project risks and opportunities.

• Travel to design offices and project sites across the UK as required.

Qualifications:

• Extensive experience delivering major projects in the gas transmission or AGI sector, ideally with compressor station involvement.

• Knowledge of AGI systems, gas turbines, pipeline interfaces, and process safety standards.

• Proven track record managing infrastructure upgrades in live, regulated gas environments.

• Experience working under CDM 2015 regulations, acting in Principal Contractor and Designer capacities.

• Competent in commercial management of D&B contracts – cost/value reporting, change control and programme forecasting.

• Confident communicator with excellent stakeholder management and technical reporting capabilities.

• Full, clean UK driving licence with flexibility to travel nationally.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package

• Hybrid working during design phase

• Strategic leadership role on a nationally significant emissions-reduction project

• Defined progression opportunities within a high-performing, engineer-led delivery environment
