This is a high-profile major projects opportunity, responsible for managing the delivery of complex pipeline infrastructure as part of the UK’s growing carbon capture and energy transition landscape.

The Role

As Senior Project Manager, you will take overall responsibility for the effective delivery of a major pipeline package, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, contractors, stakeholders and supply chain partners from project development through to completion.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Leading the delivery of a major pipeline infrastructure project from construction through to completion.
• Managing project teams, contractors, consultants and key stakeholders.
• Developing and maintaining detailed project programmes, budgets and delivery plans.
• Managing project risks, issues, change and interfaces.
• Providing strong leadership across engineering, construction, commercial, procurement, HSE and project controls functions.
• Managing contractor performance and ensuring delivery against agreed milestones.
• Driving a strong safety culture throughout project delivery.
• Coordinating interfaces between pipeline works and wider project infrastructure.
• Reporting project progress, risks, performance and forecasts to senior management.
• Supporting commercial management, contract administration and change control.
• Ensuring compliance with relevant industry standards, legislation and project requirements.

• A strong understanding of HSE requirements within major projects.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills.
