Are you ready to be part of a high-performing team at the forefront of the UK’s energy transition?
At SP Energy Networks, our focus is on harnessing technology and innovation to create the networks of the future. Our team is building a dynamic network to meet the changing demands for electricity — and increasingly, renewable electricity — safely, securely, and sustainably in the communities we serve. We’re investing in smarter, greener infrastructure to support the UK’s Net Zero ambitions. We know people are central to building a better future, quicker, and we are seeking new talent to join our team to help us get there.
We’re looking for a Commissioning & Compliance Manager to join our Customer Service team at SP Energy Networks. In this pivotal role, you’ll oversee the planning and coordination of commissioning and compliance activities across the SPM network — ensuring the safe, efficient, and compliant integration of new assets and generator connections, while maintaining system integrity and meeting customer service standards.
What You’ll Be Doing
A key part of your role will be fostering a strong team culture, and working closely with internal and external stakeholders — including NESO, NGET, and other DNOs — to manage risk and support the delivery of our ambitious investment plans.
You’ll also be responsible for developing robust policies and strategies, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and representing SPM in government-led industry groups if required. Your work will directly contribute to building a resilient network as we transition towards Net Zero.
* Lead and develop the Commissioning & Compliance team.
* Oversee commissioning and compliance activities across the SPM network.
* Ensure adherence to industry codes and standards (e.g. STCPs, EREC G99).
* Collaborate with NESO, NGET, DNOs, and internal teams.
* Develop policies and strategies to manage risk and maintain system integrity.
* Represent SPM in regulatory and industry forums.
* Support the integration of new technologies (e.g. HVDC, DSO, FES).
* Act as Duty Manager and contribute to emergency planning.
What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for a confident and experienced leader with a strong engineering background and a passion for operational excellence. You’ll bring a deep understanding of commissioning and compliance, along with the ability to interact with highly skilled engineers in a fast-paced, safety-critical environment.
* Degree or HNC in Engineering (or equivalent experience).
* Strong leadership and team development skills.
* In-depth knowledge of commissioning and compliance practices.
* Understanding of health, safety, and environmental legislation.
* Experience in Transmission and/or Distribution networks (desirable).
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
* Familiarity with SCADA systems and network tools (e.g. PowerOn Advantage).
* Commercial awareness and contract/SLA management experience.
* Strong organisational and decision-making abilities.
