Company Description

Job Description

Are you an experienced project delivery leader who enjoys bringing structure, consistency and high standards to complex digital portfolios while helping others develop and succeed?

At EDF power solutions, we're shaping an Electric UK and Ireland. Your work will help us turn that ambition into action, delivering renewable energy solutions that will power homes, businesses and communities for generations to come.

You'll play a key role in strengthening how digital projects are delivered across our business. Combining portfolio oversight, project governance and people leadership, you'll help embed best practice, drive continuous improvement and support Digital Delivery Managers as they grow their careers and capability.

The Opportunity

Travel will be required for project and business meetings, typically around twice per month, with regular opportunities to connect with colleagues and stakeholders in London, Durham and Edinburgh.

This is also a fantastic opportunity to develop and mentor a growing team of Digital Delivery Managers. You'll help raise delivery capability across the function, providing coaching, support and guidance to individuals who are building their project management careers. Your expertise will help establish a culture of continuous improvement and delivery excellence that supports our wider digital strategy.
