Project Manager - Energy & Power Scotland

Job description

Project Manager - Energy & Power Scotland Bring your expertise to projects that will shape the UK's energy future.

Jacobs is growing its Project Management team in Glasgow to support a significant energy infrastructure programme expected to commence before the end of the year. This is an opportunity to play a key role from the outset, helping to shape delivery strategy, influence important decisions, and contribute to successful project outcomes across the full lifecycle.

We're looking for experienced Project Managers who can bring project delivery expertise, commercial awareness, and a collaborative approach to complex infrastructure programmes. While experience within the energy sector would be valuable, we welcome applications from professionals delivering projects across infrastructure, transportation, water, defence, utilities, and industrial environments.

At Jacobs, we're helping clients decarbonise, strengthen energy security, and modernise critical infrastructure.

This opportunity offers you the chance to:

Join a major programme during its early stages and help shape its future direction

Work alongside multidisciplinary teams across design, commercial, environmental, and construction functions

Contribute to nationally significant infrastructure projects with long-term investment and visibility

Develop your career within one of the world's leading engineering and professional services consultancies

Support projects that make a meaningful contribution to the UK's net-zero ambitions

What you'll be doing
* Supporting the delivery of complex projects and programmes throughout the full project lifecycle
* Managing scope, schedule, cost, quality, and risk to achieve successful outcomes
* Building effective relationships with clients, stakeholders, and supply chain partners
* Driving project governance, reporting, and commercial management activities
* Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver projects safely, efficiently, and successfully
* Coordinating multidisciplinary teams across engineering, construction, and environmental disciplines
* Supporting safe, efficient, and successful project delivery from concept through to handover * Proven experience delivering energy, power, utilities, or major infrastructure projects
* Design and Build Delivery experience
* Strong understanding and proven management of the project lifecycle (design procurement construction commissioning handover)
* Solid skills in project controls: scope, schedule, cost, risk, reporting
* Experience managing stakeholders (clients, designers, contractors, regulators)
* Ability to lead and coordinate multi-disciplinary teams
* Relevant degree or equivalent experience (Engineering, PM, Construction)

At Jacobs, you'll find more than just a job. You'll discover:

A global network of expertise and opportunity

A culture founded on safety, integrity, inclusion, and belonging

Flexible working arrangements that support your well-being and potential

Opportunities to make a real-world impact through our global giving and volunteering programs
