Analyst, Project Management

About the role

At National Grid Ventures Interconnectors, we're helping to deliver a cleaner, greener future by connecting the UK's energy system with our European neighbours. Our interconnectors enable the import and export of electricity, increasing energy security, supporting renewable generation and accelerating the transition to net zero.

As we continue to grow our portfolio of innovative energy projects, we're developing the next generation of interconnectors that combine offshore wind generation with international electricity connections. One of these projects is LionLink – a pioneering partnership between National Grid and Dutch transmission system operator TenneT. Designed to connect offshore wind between the UK and the Netherlands, LionLink has the potential to provide enough clean electricity to power around 2.5 million British homes.

We're now looking for a Project Manager to join our Converter Delivery and Development Consent Order (DCO) team and play a key role in helping bring this first-of-its-kind project to life.

As Project Manager, you'll support the delivery of critical development activities across the LionLink programme, ensuring contractors and consultants deliver high-quality outputs aligned to project objectives, schedules and regulatory requirements. You'll work across technical, stakeholder, environmental and design activities during the development phase, before transitioning into a delivery-focused role as the project moves into construction.

The role is hybrid with our base office in Warwick with an expectation to be in the office 2-3 days a week.

What you'll do

• Manage and coordinate contractors supporting the Converter Delivery and DCO workstreams.
• Represent National Grid Ventures in technical meetings, design reviews and stakeholder engagement activities.
• Support project controls including cost management, scheduling, risk management and reporting.
• Drive effective change management processes, working closely with PMO colleagues to manage scope and programme changes.
• Collaborate with Contract Management teams to ensure contractual obligations are effectively managed.
• Produce reports, presentations and project documentation to support key decisions and lessons learned.
• Promote and maintaining the highest standards of health, safety and environmental performance across all project activities.

What you'll need

We're looking for someone who thrives in a complex project environment and enjoys working across multiple disciplines to deliver successful outcomes.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience managing projects with responsibility for scope, schedule, risk and cost control.
• The ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams and manage multiple contractors.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with experience building relationships both internally and externally.
• Experience within development, infrastructure, construction or major capital projects.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills, with confidence presenting technical information to a variety of audiences.
• A proactive and collaborative approach, with a focus on delivering high-quality outcomes.

What you'll get

A competitive salary between £48,374.00-  £57,012.500 per annum– dependent on capability.

As well as your base salary, you will receive a bonus based on personal and company performance and a competitive contributory pension scheme where we will double match your contribution to a maximum company contribution of 12%. You will also have access to a number of flexible benefits such as a share incentive plan, salary sacrifice car and technology schemes, support via employee assistance lines and matched charity giving to name a few.
