Senior Manager, Power Networks – Edinburgh

If you're a senior leader in power systems ready to inspire, motivate, and drive both technical and commercial success, this is the role for you!

Are you passionate about leadership and inspiring others to achieve great things? Do you want to make a meaningful impact in an organization that truly values how people are treated and led? We are a global electrical engineering consultancy, solving complex challenges for top energy players, including regulated utilities, renewable developers, and investment companies. We have worked on the UK’s first co-located BESS and PV site, completed studies for the UK’s first integrated Carbon Capture and CCGT site and now, we are setting standard for Sub-Synchronous Oscillations. We’re looking for a Senior Manager to lead and inspire our Power Networks teams to further develop in Europe.

Why Join Us?
At PSC, we are committed to fostering a culture that empowers individuals to reach their full potential. We champion leadership that inspires, guides, and empowers teams with respect, autonomy, and accountability. We offer very flexible working arrangements, autonomy to do our best work, and a supportive environment where collaboration is key. We value regular face-to-face interaction to strengthen connections, even in a mostly remote-working environment.
