Electrical Project Manager / Engineer
THE TEAM
Join JSM’s Power division, a fast-growing, high-performing team delivering complex HV infrastructure projects across the UK.
We operate in a live delivery environment, working on high-value (£5m+) projects with DNOs, IDNOs, and major clients, including data centres and industrial users.
This is a team that needs experienced people who can step in, take ownership, and deliver not theory, not potential.
SCOPE OF ROLE
As an Electrical Project Manager, you’ll take ownership of the design-to-delivery interface on HV infrastructure projects (11kV–132kV+).
You’ll coordinate the design process, manage stakeholder interfaces, support early procurement decisions, and ensure projects are set up properly before and during delivery.
This is not a pure design role; it’s about managing the process, the risk, and the programme.
You’ll report into the Delivery Interface Manager and play a key role in stabilising and driving live projects forward.
