Regional Manager

Purpose of the role  
To build and lead United Infrastructure's   South East   region from the ground up — establishing the company's presence, client relationships, and delivery capability in a market where UI currently has no established foothold, without diverting resource or focus from the existing NGED-region team.

Key responsibilities

- Develop and execute the   South East   regional strategy, targeting UKPN, SSEN South, and adjacent DNO/IDNO/ICP frameworks

- Build and lead a right-sized regional team, starting with a lean permanent core and flexing variable capability around confirmed work

- Own client relationships across the region, acting as the primary UI point of contact for existing and prospective clients

- Lead business development and bid activity, including positioning for ED3 framework awards, IDNO/ICP contracts, and private network opportunities

- Secure new confirmed contract value for the region in line with FY28 targets

- Manage regional P&L, ensuring commercial discipline and margin control as the region scales

- Ensure all work is delivered safely and in compliance with UI's SHEQ standards and policies

- Report regularly to the Operations Director on pipeline, delivery, and regional performance

- Represent UI Group at industry events, client forums, and framework engagements relevant to the   South East   market

What success looks like

- A functioning, self-sustaining   South East   region with its own client base and delivery   track record

- Confirmed new business secured against FY28 targets

- A regional team built without drawing on NGED-region headcount or management time

- Strong client relationships that position UI competitively for ED3 and beyond

Person specification

- Established   track record   and relationships within the   South East   power T&D market

- Experience building or scaling a region, business unit, or client base from a standing start

- Strong commercial and negotiation skills, comfortable owning bid   strategy   and pricing

- Credible with clients at senior level; able to   represent   UI Group externally

- NEC contract familiarity and understanding of DNO/IDNO/ICP frameworks

- Self-starting and comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy
