The Role

The Senior Project Manager role sits within David Phillips' team and acts as a critical interface between Generic Product Design (GPD) and GBE-N project delivery, ensuring generic design activity supports successful delivery of the GBE-N contract.

We need you to:

• Lead delivery of multiple projects within a pioneering nuclear programme, acting as the key interface between Generic Product Design (GPD) and GBE-N project delivery.
• Represent programme delivery interests, ensuring generic design activity supports successful contract outcomes.
• Provide early warning of risks and design changes, escalating impacts to programme and PM teams.
• Support change control discussions and collaborate with senior stakeholders across the GPD organisation.
• Build credibility and influence at all levels, winning support through strong relationships and indirect influence.
• Manage a team of 2-4 project managers, fostering a positive, productive environment and supporting their development.
• Ensure compliance with project management processes, drive improvements, and document lessons learned.
• Champion diversity, inclusion, and "above the line" behaviours, role modelling our values and beliefs.

What you bring

• Extensive experience delivering complex projects under NEC contracts (infrastructure/nuclear desirable, but not essential).
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, especially in environments with competing priorities.
• Hands-on experience managing multiple packages of work, complex situations, and key stakeholders.
• Technical knowledge of engineering principles and practices; familiarity with project management tools (Primavera P6, MS Project, ARM, SAP, Excel, Power BI, Power Apps).
• Excellent communication skills - able to simplify complex topics and engage a wide range of stakeholders.
• Leadership, coaching, and organisational skills; resilience and adaptability in dynamic environments.
• Engineering degree or equivalent experience; project management certification (APM PMQ or similar) preferred.

Working Pattern & Flexibility

• Hybrid working supported; Derby is preferred due to stakeholder location, but Manchester and Warrington are also options.
• Flexible hours and part-time options available to support work-life balance.
• Regular travel required for face-to-face internal and customer engagement.
