Location: Stoke-on-Trent (3 days on site)
Rate: £400 per day
Contract: Long-term, anticipated until mid-2028
Sector: Battery Energy Storage / Power Infrastructure

A major UK energy infrastructure project. A long-term contract. The opportunity to take ownership of key work packages on a large-scale BESS development.

We're working with an established energy infrastructure contractor looking for an experienced Project Manager or Project Engineer to support the delivery of a major Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project near Stoke-on-Trent.

This isn't a role where you'll simply be overseeing progress from a distance. You'll take direct responsibility for delivering allocated work packages, managing subcontractors and suppliers, coordinating engineering interfaces and ensuring everything progresses smoothly through construction, commissioning and handover.

Working alongside an experienced project delivery team, you'll play a key role in keeping the project on programme and resolving issues before they become bigger problems.

What you'll be doing

• Taking ownership of allocated work packages from procurement through to construction, commissioning and handover.
• Managing subcontractors, suppliers and OEMs to ensure delivery against agreed programmes and milestones.
• Coordinating with engineering teams to manage design interfaces, technical queries and package dependencies.
• Monitoring progress, identifying potential delays and implementing recovery plans where required.
• Working closely with construction, commissioning and commercial teams to ensure successful package delivery.
• Managing technical and programme risks, variations and changes throughout the project lifecycle.
• Ensuring all relevant testing, commissioning and handover documentation is completed.

What we're looking for

You'll ideally come from a Project Management, Project Engineering or Package Management background within BESS, HV infrastructure, substations, power generation or major EPC projects.

We're particularly interested in speaking with people who have:

• Experience delivering significant engineering or construction work packages on complex infrastructure projects.
• A strong understanding of multidisciplinary engineering, particularly electrical infrastructure and associated civils.
• Proven experience managing subcontractors, suppliers and technical interfaces.
• Experience coordinating procurement, construction, testing and commissioning activities.
• Good commercial awareness and an understanding of project programmes, risks and variations.
• An engineering qualification (degree, HNC/HND or equivalent).

Previous experience on BESS projects would be advantageous, as would exposure to HV substations, grid connections, protection and control systems or FIDIC contracts.

However, you don't necessarily need to have worked on a battery storage project before. We're equally interested in candidates with transferable experience delivering complex electrical or energy infrastructure projects.

What's on offer?

• £400 per day
• Long-term contract opportunity, anticipated to run until mid-2028.
• Hybrid working, with a minimum of three days per week on site near Stoke-on-Trent.
• Opportunity to work on a major UK battery storage development.
• An established project team and the chance to take genuine ownership of your work packages.

If you've got a strong engineering delivery background and enjoy being involved in the detail of getting major infrastructure projects built, we'd be keen to hear from you.

Apply now or get in touch with Alex at CRG TEC for a confidential conversation about the project.

£55,000 – £60,000 + benefits | Nottingham | Hybrid

If you’re a Quantity Surveyor or Contracts Manager who feels ready for more than simply looking after your own projects, this could be a really interesting next step.

We’re recruiting for an established specialist engineering business that is looking for someone to step into a broader Commercial Manager role – with the opportunity to influence how the business manages contracts, commercial risk and profitability rather than simply inheriting an existing way of doing things.

You don’t need to already be a Commercial Manager, nor do you need experience in their specific sector.

What matters is that you understand the commercial side of delivering contracted work, have experience working with NEC and JCT contracts, and are ready to take on more responsibility.

What’s in it for you?

This is an opportunity to broaden your experience beyond a traditional QS or Contracts Manager position.

You’ll work closely with senior leadership and gain exposure across two different areas of the business: major installation projects and a sizeable portfolio of recurring service contracts.

That means getting involved in everything from variations, claims and contractual risk through to pricing, profitability, commercial reporting and longer-term business strategy.

You’ll have the autonomy to improve existing commercial processes and, importantly, a genuine opportunity to put the Commercial Manager title on your CV rather than waiting for somebody above you to move on.

What will you be doing?

You'll take responsibility for commercial performance across a mixture of project and service contracts, including:

• Managing NEC and JCT contracts, including variations, claims and commercial risk
• Working with project teams to protect margin, control costs and improve commercial outcomes
• Reviewing contracts and identifying potential commercial exposure
• Supporting pricing, tenders and new business opportunities
• Monitoring contract performance, profitability and cash flow
• Improving commercial reporting and visibility for senior management
• Working closely with Operations, Finance and Sales
• Identifying opportunities to improve the value and profitability of existing customer contracts

What are we looking for?

Your current title isn't particularly important. You could currently be working as a QS, Project Surveyor, Contract Manager, Commercial Surveyor or in another commercially focused role within a contracting environment.

You will need:

• Practical experience working with NEC and JCT contracts
• A good understanding of contract performance, commercial risk and profitability
• Strong commercial and numerical skills
• Confidence dealing with operational teams, customers and senior stakeholders

Experience within utilities, energy, infrastructure, M&E, building services, facilities management or specialist contracting would be particularly useful, although we're open to other relevant construction and engineering backgrounds.

If you've built a solid grounding in contracts and commercial management but are looking for an opportunity to step up, broaden your remit and have more influence, get in touch with Alex at CRG to find out more or click "apply" now!

£65,000 – £70,000 + Car Allowance + Benefits
Hybrid / Site Based – London & South East
 

If you’re a Senior Building Surveyor who enjoys variety but doesn’t fancy spending five days a week commuting into a London office, this could be worth a look.

We’re working with a well-established project and programme management consultancy that’s looking to add an experienced Building Surveyor to a small, busy team.

The workload is genuinely varied. You’ll be working across residential and commercial property, with current projects including high and medium-rise recladding programmes, alongside building fabric and M&E works across commercial estates.

What’s in it for you?

You’ll have plenty of autonomy rather than being tied to a desk. Most of your time will be spent working across projects and sites throughout London and the South East, with typically only one day in the London office every couple of weeks.

You’ll also get:

• A varied portfolio rather than being pigeonholed into one type of surveying
• A small team where you’ll have genuine responsibility and visibility
• The backing of a much larger consultancy working across major UK infrastructure and property programmes

What are we looking for?

You’ll need to be an experienced, professionally qualified Building Surveyor operating at Senior level. Your background could be a mix of residential, commercial, building fabric, recladding or a mixture – you don’t need to tick every box.

More important is that you’re comfortable taking ownership of projects, dealing with clients and getting out to sites.

Geographically, somewhere around Milton Keynes / the northern Home Counties would work particularly well, although there’s flexibility for the right person if you’re comfortable travelling across London and the South East.

If you’re a Senior Building Surveyor looking for a role with a bit more freedom, a broad project portfolio and less time unnecessarily sitting in an office, apply now or get in touch with Alex at CRG TEC to find out more.

Walsall | £50k - £60k + car allowance + benefits

If you’re a Quantity Surveyor who likes being close enough to the projects to actually see what you’re commercially managing, this could be a good one.

You'll work with an established engineering business delivering mechanical, electrical and infrastructure projects across the utilities sector. They’ve got a strong pipeline of work and are looking for a QS to join their commercial team, taking responsibility for several live projects typically ranging from £500k up to £5m.

You’ll report into a Senior Quantity Surveyor, so there’s support around you, but you’ll have plenty of ownership too.

This isn’t just sitting behind a spreadsheet. You’ll work closely with Project Managers, Engineers and subcontractors, keeping on top of costs, variations and commercial risk throughout the project lifecycle.

What will you be doing?

• Managing the commercial side of several live projects
• Producing budgets, forecasts and monthly CVRs
• Preparing valuations, applications and final accounts
• Managing variations, additional works and compensation events
• Supporting Project Managers with cost tracking and commercial risk
• Reviewing contracts and identifying potential risks early
• Working with clients and subcontractors to resolve commercial issues
• Monitoring cost-to-complete and spotting risks and opportunities
• Supporting tenders for upcoming projects

What are we looking for?

Ideally, you’ll already have QS experience within utilities, water, civils, M&E or wider infrastructure projects.

You’ll need a good understanding of NEC contracts, ideally NEC3/4, and any JCT experience would be useful too.

A Quantity Surveying degree would be ideal, although relevant HNC/HND qualifications alongside solid QS experience will absolutely be considered.

More than anything, you need to be comfortable working alongside operational teams. You’ll be dealing with PMs, Engineers, clients and subcontractors rather than sitting somewhere in commercial HQ wondering what’s happening on site.

A full UK driving licence is also needed as there’ll be some travel to projects.

What’s in it for you?

£50k - £60k + car allowance + pension and benefits, with hybrid working and a Walsall base.

You’ll get exposure to sizeable infrastructure projects, work alongside an experienced commercial team and have a genuine route to develop towards Senior QS as you grow with the business.

Interested? Drop Alex at CRG TEC a message and can discuss before you apply.

Salary: £50,000 - £60,000 + Benefits

Benefits: 24 days annual leave + 8 bank holidays, private healthcare & dental, birthday off + more

Location: Chorley (4 days a week in the office)

Travel: Occasional travel to customer sites and data centres.

The opportunity:

This is an opportunity to join one of the UK's leading MSPs, but don't expect to feel like just another number.

Whilst the business has grown significantly, the Chorley office has retained a close-knit feel where everyone works together, shares knowledge and isn't afraid to jump in and help when needed. It's the sort of environment where titles matter less than getting the job done.

You'll spend your time delivering infrastructure projects, supporting customers through complex technical challenges and acting as a trusted technical resource across a broad range of Microsoft technologies.

Alongside the customer-facing work, you'll also have the chance to help improve the way the team operates. Whether that's refining documentation, improving technical processes or sharing knowledge with colleagues, you'll play a part in making an already strong team even better.

Day to day

You'll be delivering infrastructure projects, migrations and upgrades across customer environments while providing technical consultancy and senior-level support when required.

You'll work closely with customers to understand their requirements, troubleshoot complex issues and see projects through from design to delivery.

You'll also contribute to technical documentation, help improve internal processes where opportunities arise and support the wider engineering team by sharing knowledge and acting as an escalation point for more technical challenges.

Who we are looking for

We're looking for someone with a strong infrastructure background, ideally gained within an MSP, who enjoys working with customers and takes real ownership of their work.

You'll have experience across Microsoft infrastructure, virtualisation, networking and cloud technologies, along with a track record of delivering projects and supporting complex environments.

More importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys being part of a team. Someone who's happy to roll their sleeves up, help colleagues when needed and contribute wherever they'll have the biggest impact. This isn't an environment where people stay in their lane—everyone pulls together to deliver the best outcome for customers.

The Next Steps

If you're looking for a role where you'll get to work on varied technical projects while joining a genuinely supportive team, I'd love to tell you more.
