Solution Delivery Manager

Job Description Summary

Put simply, this role is about bringing people together and making sure a complex HVDC engineering programme gets delivered successfully.

Our HVDC Reference Solutions team is developing more standardised, repeatable solutions that can be reused across future projects and tenders - helping reduce unnecessary re‑engineering, improve consistency and make delivery more efficient.

As the HVDC Programme Manager, you'll lead and coordinate a multidisciplinary team working across different functions and locations. You'll create structure, set priorities, keep people aligned and make sure the agreed scope moves forward. You'll work closely with a Technical Lead, who owns the detailed technical direction, while you focus on programme delivery, organisation and leadership.

Because Reference Solutions is still evolving, not every process is already defined. We're therefore looking for someone who is comfortable with complexity and ambiguity - someone who can take an objective, bring the right people together and confidently turn it into something practical and deliverable.
