The Role This role sits across both project development and project delivery. You'll be involved from the early stages of project definition, business cases and investment approvals through to construction, commissioning and asset handover. Along the way you'll be managing project teams, contractors, budgets, schedules, governance requirements and executive stakeholders. It's a role that needs someone comfortable operating at both the strategic and delivery level. One day you might be presenting to executives or supporting investment decisions, the next you're helping remove roadblocks on a critical infrastructure project. Key Responsibilities Lead a portfolio of major energy infrastructure projects. Manage and mentor a team of Project Managers and delivery professionals. Oversee project governance, budgets, schedules, risk and commercial performance. Support project development activities including business cases and investment approvals.

What makes this opportunity different is the mix of complexity, visibility and influence. You'll have ownership of projects that matter, access to senior decision-makers, and the chance to shape how large-scale infrastructure projects are developed and delivered. It's the sort of role that suits someone who has already run major projects and is looking for a broader leadership position where they can influence outcomes across an entire portfolio, not just a single asset.
