• Provide leadership and support to project management and site colleagues working on the contract
• Play a leading role in identifying and securing opportunities to grow the EV charging division as further contracts are won

Essential Requirements

• An electrical background
• A minimum of 3 years' relevant project management experience
• Strong programme and stakeholder management skills, comfortable liaising directly with clients
• A team player who thrives in a fast-paced, growing business
• Willingness and ability to work office based, xwzovoh full time, in Kent

• Experience using Microsoft Project
• Progression from a hands-on, on-the-tools background into project management
• Prior experience growing or helping to establish a new division or service line

What's on Offer

• A growing, ambitious business with a motivated team
• Full support from in-house health & safety, planning, permitting and commercial teams
• Electric company car
• Real scope to shape and grow the EV charging division over time, with earning potential to match
