Our Residential ICP business is a key part of E.ON’s growing utility infrastructure offering, supporting the UK’s expanding residential market. With a dedicated operation, a strong pipeline of opportunities and established relationships with leading housing developers, we have built the foundations for significant growth.
This is more than an operational management role. We’re looking for a leader who can shape, develop and scale our Residential ICP business, with the autonomy to assess and improve our structure, ways of working, commercial processes, tendering and supply chain strategy. Working directly with the Managing Director, you’ll have the opportunity to influence the future direction of the business, drive improved tender conversion and commercial performance, and build a high-performing residential ICP operation in the UK market.
It’s an opportunity to bring your industry expertise into an entrepreneurial environment, backed by the investment, scale and reputation of E.ON — building something, shaping it and leaving a lasting impact on our residential infrastructure business.
We are seeking an experienced ICP Residential Manager to lead the successful delivery of residential utility infrastructure projects across electricity, gas and water networks. You will take ownership of multiple housing and mixed-use developments, managing operational delivery, commercial performance, customer relationships and health & safety compliance from contract award through to energisation, adoption and final handover.
This is a leadership role responsible for ensuring projects are delivered safely, profitably and to the highest standards of customer satisfaction.
