Job Title: Innovation Project Manager

We are seeking an experienced Innovation Project Manager to join our team at UK Power Networks.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage the delivery of new software solutions, including the seamless integration of cloud systems.
  • Oversee the management of digitalisation and cybersecurity deliverables within the Constellation project.
  • Lead a range of development and engagement programs, ensuring a smooth transition of developed solutions into business-as-usual operations.
  • Manage technology providers to ensure software is delivered to time, scope, and cost.
  • Ensure siteworks and solutions development are progressed following the project plan.
  • Manage functional and non-functional requirements based on project findings with senior partners across UK Power Networks and the project team.
  • Lead project-specific procurement activities, including defining/managing tenders and reviewing deliverables to release supplier payments.
  • Ensure innovation software design is integrable and aligns with wider UK Power Networks software strategy.
  • Lead troubleshooting activities and manage software issues and resolutions by partnering with UKPN support services and suppliers.
  • Manage software testing activities and live trials in collaboration with UK Power Networks partners and project partners.
  • Support in creating business impact assessments for new software solutions.
  • Detail the strategies and leading activities that help trial innovation projects to transition to business as usual.

  • An understanding of software development life cycles.
  • Experience in procurement activities and managing project-related tenders.
  • Experience managing software suppliers throughout a project lifecycle.
  • Adaptability when it comes to changes and be comfortable with ambiguity – innovation is a changing environment where sometimes no 'blueprint' exists.
  • Be curious - it's essential you have the initiative to make decisions yourself, and can find solutions to novel problems without lots of help and support.
  • You'll need to understand the problems and requirements of the business and find solutions.
  • Knowledge of network services AZURE/SCADA/DMS/OMS/DERMS systems.
  • An understanding of type 1 virtualisation technology, including VMWare and KVM.

Desirable:

  • Project management qualification is preferable.
  • Experience delivering cloud computing solutions and in cyber security is preferable.
  • Understanding of enterprise architecture requirements for smart grids and Distribution System Operation.
  • Understanding of operational infrastructure environments.
  • Experience with telecommunication, including 5G.
  • Experience with electrical power systems, protection, and active network management is preferable.

Skills:

  • You can understand complex ideas and convey these to non-technical audiences.

Health & Safety Responsibilities:

Managers and supervisors carry both legal and company responsibilities for ensuring the health and safety of their employees, those under their control and those who might be affected by the work undertaken, i.e. public, visitors and employees of other organisations. This includes briefing individuals working for them and ensuring there is the necessary understanding, competence and application of requirements to work safely and without harming the environment.

Employees will ensure they understand the health and safety risks involved in their work activities and their responsibility to apply the controls needed to manage those risks to acceptable levels. Similarly where work activities can have an adverse impact upon the environment, and where there are legal requirements, employees will understand those impacts and the controls they must ensure are applied.

If in doubt ask

We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender, gender identity or expression, or veteran status. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.
