Key Responsibilities

• Own the delivery model for assigned software implementation projects and act as the technical delivery lead.

• Build and manage effective delivery plans, including work breakdown structures, task allocation, and progress tracking.
• Coordinate delivery activities across multidisciplinary teams, including solution design, engineering, and global delivery centres.
• Support customer engagement by providing technical coordination, managing expectations, and meeting delivery commitments.
• Ensure projects meet agreed schedule, cost, quality, and delivery KPIs (on‑time delivery, cost to complete, effort variance, process compliance, customer satisfaction).
• Validate delivery readiness through internal gate reviews and milestone checks.
• Support knowledge transfer and smooth transition into support or maintenance at project completion.
• Contribute to continuous improvement in delivery practices, including Agile and DevOps approaches where applicable.

Essential qualifications:

• Experience delivering or managing the implementation of advanced software solutions, ideally within utilities, energy, grid, or infrastructure environments.
• Background in a delivery, technical project, systems integration, or implementation role within a software or systems integration organisation.
• Experience working with cross‑functional and distributed teams.
• Understanding of Agile and DevOps delivery concepts; familiarity with tools such as GitHub, Jenkins, Ansible, Jira, or Confluence is beneficial.
• Ability to engage confidently with customers and internal stakeholders at both technical and non‑technical levels.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and priorities.
• Comfortable working in customer‑facing roles and taking accountability for delivery outcomes.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, IT, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
