Construction Manager - Major Energy Infrastructure Projects (UK-Based)
Lead on-site delivery for projects valued between £15m and £100m.

A leading Independent Power Producer is delivering some of the UK's most ambitious energy infrastructure schemes-with over £3bn in active projects, 2GW in operation, and 14GW+ of consented capacity. As the portfolio scales, we're hiring a Construction Manager to take ownership of site delivery across large-scale energy assets, including battery storage, hydrogen-ready thermal plants, and grid flexibility infrastructure.

This is a client-side role, acting as the lead on-site representative overseeing EPC contractors and subcontractors. You'll be responsible for ensuring safe, efficient, and high-quality execution of works across civils, M&E, and commissioning phases.

Your Role

• Lead day-to-day construction activities on major infrastructure sites.
• Act as the key site interface between the client and EPC delivery teams.
• Monitor programme progress, safety compliance, and quality standards.
• Coordinate subcontractors, manage site documentation, and ensure timely reporting.
• Drive performance across packages, resolve issues, and maintain momentum.
• Ensure compliance with CDM regulations, HSE policies, and site procedures.
• Support commissioning planning and interface with design and engineering teams.
• Maintain a safe, well-organised site and promote continuous improvement.

What You'll Bring

• Proven experience as a Site Manager or Construction Manager on infrastructure projects (£15m+).
• Background in civils, M&E, or energy sector construction.
• Strong understanding of EPC delivery models and client-side responsibilities.
• Excellent leadership, coordination, and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple contractors and maintain high standards under pressure.

Why This Role?

• Be the client's lead on-site for nationally significant energy projects.
• Join a high-growth IPP with a clear path to scale and long-term impact.
• Work on complex, high-value infrastructure with real-world outcomes.
• Competitive salary, benefits, and career development opportunities.
