What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who takes ownership, thrives on responsibility and enjoys building something from the ground up. This is a top-end salary for a candidate who can not only run the current contracts from day one, but also take a lead role in growing the EV charging side of the business. You'll combine a strong electrical background with the commercial and stakeholder management skills to run a live contract from the front, working collaboratively with health & safety, planning, permitting and commercial teams to keep delivery on track.

Overview

We're recruiting for a Senior Electrical Project Manager to join an established civils, fibre and telecoms business that is expanding into EV charging infrastructure.

This is a newly created role for someone to take ownership of the day-to-day operational delivery of a long-term contract with a leading EV charge point operator, acting as the main point of contact for the client and leading the project from the front.

Working closely with in-house health & safety, planning, permitting and commercial teams, you'll be fully supported to focus on delivery rather than admin, with real scope to help build and shape a new division as the company's EV charging work grows.

Key Responsibilities

• Take overall accountability for the day-to-day operational management of the contract(s)
• Act as the primary point of liaison with the client, building and maintaining a strong working relationship
• Manage delivery against the agreed programme, ensuring milestones and deadlines are met
• Work closely with the in-house health & safety team on construction phase plans and RAMS
• Liaise with the planning and permitting teams to keep works progressing smoothly
• Work with the commercial team to track project financials and reporting
• Provide leadership and support to project management and site colleagues working on the contract
• Play a leading role in identifying and securing opportunities to grow the EV charging division as further contracts are won

Essential Requirements

• An electrical background
• A minimum of 3 years' relevant project management experience
• Strong programme and stakeholder management skills, comfortable liaising directly with clients
• A team player who thrives in a fast-paced, growing business
• Willingness and ability to work office based, full time, in Kent

Desirable Experience

• EV charging experience, ideally on-street/public charging infrastructure (e.g. with a CPO, ICP or similar)
• 5+ years' relevant project management experience
• Experience using Microsoft Project
• Progression from a hands-on, on-the-tools background into project management
• Prior experience growing or helping to establish a new division or service line

What's on Offer

• Newly secured, long-term contract offering job security
• A growing, ambitious business with a motivated team
• Full support from in-house health & safety, planning, permitting and commercial teams
• Electric company car
• Real scope to shape and grow the EV charging division over time, with earning potential to match
