Job Description

Are you an experienced Project Controls Manager looking to play a key role in delivering major renewable energy projects that will help shape the UK's energy future? This is an opportunity to bring structure, insight and control to complex projects while working at the heart of a growing renewable energy portfolio.

At EDF power solutions, we’re delivering an Electric UK and Ireland.

Your expertise in planning, cost control, forecasting and project governance will help ensure successful project delivery. You'll provide the information, controls and reporting needed to support investment decisions, manage risk and drive project performance across the project lifecycle.

The Opportunity

As Project Controls Manager, you'll be a core member of the project leadership team, coordinating and integrating project controls activities across planning, scheduling, cost control, reporting and document management.

Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, this role offers flexibility to work on a hybrid basis from our office in #London. You'll also travel to other UK sites when required, giving you the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues and stakeholders across our renewable energy portfolio.

You'll work closely with Project Managers, senior leaders, investors and portfolio teams to support the successful delivery of large-scale renewable energy projects. This is a highly visible role where your contribution will directly influence project outcomes, governance decisions and long-term business success.
