Are you an experienced Project Manager with a strong electrical engineering background and a proven track record in managing complex, high-value infrastructure projects? This is a unique opportunity to lead a critical electrical transformation program within a highly regulated industrial environment, acting on behalf of our client as the owner's representative.
Company information
Our client operates a large-scale industrial production facility where reliability, business continuity, and operational excellence are essential. As part of a long-term capital investment program running through 2029, a major modernization of the site's electrical infrastructure is being undertaken. The Project Manager will act on behalf of the facility owner and work closely with internal electrical specialists, engineering partners, contractors, and external utility stakeholders.
Vacancy information
As Project Manager, you will be responsible for the successful delivery of a complex brownfield electrical infrastructure project valued at approximately €30 million.
The project includes the development of a new grid connection and substation in cooperation with the local DSO, migration from four incoming feeders to two, replacement of existing diesel generators, installation of new medium-voltage switchgear, and renewal of the site's electrical distribution network.
Acting on behalf of the facility owner, you will lead the project from engineering through construction, commissioning, and handover. A key challenge will be delivering the new infrastructure while the facility remains fully operational, as production downtime is not an option.
Your responsibilities include:
- Overall project leadership on behalf of the owner.
- Managing engineering partners during basic and detailed design phases.
- Coordinating contractors, the DSO, and internal stakeholders.
- Controlling scope, budget, planning, risks, and project execution.
- Overseeing construction, commissioning, and final handover activities.
- Ensuring safe implementation with minimal operational impact.
- Driving stakeholder alignment and decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
What do you need
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or similar.
- Proven experience managing large electrical infrastructure projects.
- Experience with projects valued around €30M or more.
- Strong knowledge of substations, medium-voltage systems, and power distribution.
- Experience in brownfield industrial environments.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
- Experience managing engineering, construction, and commissioning phases.
