Project Manager – Electrical
Location: Colchester, Essex
Salary: £75,000 - £80,000
Working Hours: 07:30 – 17:30 (47.5-hour week)
The Opportunity
Are you a heavy hitter in the power sector ready to lead high-voltage projects for a company that’s moving as fast as the industry itself?
Our client is a well-established, rapidly growing Groundworks and Civils specialist uniquely positioned in the Power sector. Due to a massive pipeline of work, we are looking for a dedicated Electrical Project Manager to take the reigns of our LV & HV workstreams, specifically focusing on 11KV installations and the UK’s booming EV charging infrastructure.
Based out of Colchester, you won’t just be sitting behind a desk. You’ll be the driving force on-site and in the boardroom, ensuring our national projects are delivered with precision.
The Role
As Project Manager, you will oversee the full lifecycle of power-related civil engineering projects. From initial site setup to final commissioning, you’ll be the primary point of contact for clients and site teams alike.
Key Responsibilities:
*
Project Delivery: Lead LV/HV and 11KV projects across the UK, ensuring they are on time and within budget.
*
EV Infrastructure: Manage the civils and power integration for large-scale EV charging hubs.
*
Team Leadership: Supervise site crews and subcontractors, maintaining our reputation for excellence in groundworks.
*
Compliance & Safety: Uphold rigorous H&S standards across all live sites.
*
Travel: While based in Colchester, the nature of our national contracts means you’ll be out in the field, including occasional overnight stays to ensure project milestones are met.
What You’ll Bring
We need someone who knows the difference between a standard trench and a high-voltage cable run. You should be a problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment.
*
Experience: Proven track record in LV/HV project management, specifically with 11KV systems and EV charging infrastructure.
*
Sector Knowledge: A strong background in groundworks and civils within the power sector.
*
Qualifications: Qualified Electrician who holds a valid SSSTS or SMSTS certification.
*
Flexibility: Comfortable with a 47.5-hour working week and willing to travel/stay overnight when the project requires it.
*
Driver’s License: Full UK license is essential.
The Package
We value our people and believe in rewarding hard work with a market-leading package:
*
Salary: £70,000- £80,000
*
Vehicle: Company car + Fuel Card provided.
*
Tools for the Trade: Professional laptop and phone.
*
Holiday: 29 days (including Bank Holidays).
*
Stability: Join a well-funded, established firm with a "family-feel" but "tier-one" ambitions.
