**Location:** Coulsdon, United Kingdom

## Description

An established and growing commercial electrical contractor is looking to appoint an experienced **Senior Project Manager** to take responsibility for the delivery of larger electrical projects across London and the South East.

This is a hands-on project delivery position with a particular focus on **live, occupied and critical environments**, where careful planning, permits, phasing and communication are essential.

Typical environments include **hospitals, trading floors, airports, MOD facilities, commercial buildings and live data centres**.

While the business does undertake data centre projects, these are predominantly **additions, alterations and upgrades within operational facilities rather than new-build data centres**. Experience delivering electrical works where the client's operation cannot simply be switched off is therefore particularly important.

### The Role

You will take ownership of larger electrical projects from preconstruction handover through delivery, commissioning and final close-out.

Working alongside an established **Preconstruction Lead and Project Manager**, you will be responsible for ensuring projects are delivered safely, commercially and to programme.

Responsibilities will include:

-   Managing commercial electrical projects across London and the South East.
-   Taking projects from preconstruction handover through to completion and final account.
-   Managing works within live, occupied and operational environments.
-   Developing project programmes, phasing strategies and delivery plans.
-   Coordinating shutdowns, permits, access and works around critical client operations.
-   Managing electrical site teams, supervisors, subcontractors and specialist suppliers.
-   Maintaining strong relationships with clients, main contractors and consultants.
-   Monitoring project costs, variations and commercial performance.
-   Working closely with the commercial team to protect project margin.
-   Managing procurement, labour requirements and project resources.
-   Chairing and attending client and project progress meetings.
-   Ensuring testing, commissioning and certification are completed correctly.
-   Driving projects through the final stages rather than allowing close-out to drift.
-   Managing snagging, defects and outstanding works.
-   Ensuring **O&M manuals, certification, handover documentation and final accounts** are completed and closed out properly.

## Requirements

The key requirement is someone with a proven track record of delivering electrical projects within **critical or live environments**.

You will ideally have experience within environments such as:

-   Hospitals and healthcare facilities.
-   Trading floors and financial institutions.
-   Airports and transport infrastructure.
-   MOD or security-sensitive facilities.
-   Live commercial buildings.
-   Operational data centres.
-   Other occupied or mission-critical environments.

You should also have:

-   Strong commercial electrical project management experience.
-   A good technical understanding of electrical installations.
-   Experience managing permits, shutdowns and works within operational buildings.
-   Strong programme and project planning skills.
-   Experience managing subcontractors, labour and supply chains.
-   Good commercial awareness, including variations and final accounts.
-   Confidence dealing directly with clients and senior stakeholders.
-   Strong knowledge of testing, commissioning and project handover requirements.
-   Full UK driving licence.

### A Genuine Project Finisher

A major part of this appointment is finding someone who **finishes projects properly**.

We are looking for a Project Manager who remains engaged through the difficult final stages of a job and takes responsibility for getting everything over the line.

That means:

-   Snagging completed.
-   Testing and commissioning signed off.
-   Electrical certification issued.
-   O&M manuals completed.
-   Handover documentation submitted.
-   Variations agreed.
-   Final accounts closed.

The successful candidate will have a demonstrable track record of taking ownership of this process rather than simply moving onto the next project once the installation is substantially complete.

### The Team

This is **not a Head of Projects or departmental management position**.

You will be joining an existing structure and working closely alongside a **Preconstruction Lead and an established Project Manager**.

The requirement is for an experienced Senior Project Manager who enjoys **running and delivering significant projects**, collaborating with the wider team and taking responsibility for successful project completion.

## Benefits

-   **£65,000 – £75,000 basic salary**, depending on experience.
-   Car allowance.
-   Company pension.
-   Additional company benefits.
-   Long-term opportunity within a growing electrical contractor.
-   High-profile projects across London and the South East.
-   Genuine autonomy over project delivery without the expectation of running an entire department.
