Through our waste-to-energy operations, we generate enough electricity to power approximately 80,000 homes annually, while also supporting reuse and recycling initiatives across North London.

As we continue to invest in new infrastructure, operational improvements and major strategic programmes, we are looking for a Technical Project Manager to support the safe and successful delivery of projects across our waste management facilities.

About the role:

We are looking for an experienced Technical Project Manager to lead projects and workstreams across LondonEnergy's operational waste management facilities.

The role will have a strong focus on civil engineering and infrastructure works, including site upgrades, civil works, contractor-led projects and the integration of new or modified assets within busy operational environments.

Health and safety will be a key priority. You will ensure projects comply with CDM Regulations, LondonEnergy governance and Management of Change requirements, while providing practical technical oversight to ensure projects are safe, compliant, cost-effective and suitable for operational use.

This is a hands-on role requiring regular site presence at EcoPark and other project locations, particularly during construction, inspections, commissioning and key delivery stages. You will work closely with operations, contractors, consultants and internal technical teams.

- Stakeholder Coordination: Work closely with operations, project teams, consultants and specialist technical disciplines to manage interfaces, resolve issues and support effective decision-making.
- Commissioning & Handover: Lead technical operational readiness, including inspections, testing, commissioning, defects management, asset information and the formal handover of completed works.
- Health & Safety: Ensure compliance with CDM Regulations, health and safety requirements, LondonEnergy governance and Management of Change processes, maintaining a strong site presence and overseeing inspection and sign-off.

Requirements

- Qualifications: Degree, HNC, HND or equivalent qualification in Civil Engineering, Construction or a related technical discipline, or substantial demonstrable experience delivering civil engineering projects.

- Contractor Management: Strong experience managing contractors and consultants, with the ability to oversee performance, quality, safety, cost and programme.
- Technical & Governance Skills: Practical understanding of civil engineering and infrastructure delivery, with experience in project controls, risk, change management, governance and technical assurance.
