Project Manager - UK

Job Description

The Mission

Voltalis is rolling out its energy flexibility technology in the UK — and you're the person who makes it happen on the ground.

Why This Role

You'll be among the first people shaping how Voltalis operates in the UK . The decisions you make in year one will define how the business scales. It's a rare opportunity to be both hands-on and strategic from day one, in a company that has already proven its model in France.

This is not a coordination role. You will own the full deployment cycle : from scoping contracts with properties owners and subcontractors, to running site visits, to writing functional specs for R&D teams adapting our hardware and software stack to the UK market.

Half of your job is Run — getting the first installations live, managing partner contracts, building schedules, keeping things moving on the ground. The other half is Build — because this is a new market, and our processes, tools, and products need to be adapted. You'll write functional specs, challenge existing solutions, and work hand-in-hand with our French R&D and innovation team.

You report directly to the UK Operations Director.

What You'll Actually Do

• Manage end-to-end deployment projects: site surveys, subcontractor selection, scheduling, go-live
• Frame and negotiate partner and subcontractor contracts
• Translate field realities into clear functional specs for tech teams (hardware + software)
• Build dashboards, track KPIs, manage project budgets
• Bridge the gap between English-speaking stakeholders and French-speaking engineers — fluently, in both directions
• Identify what doesn't work in our current processes and fix it

Who You Are

You've managed complex deployments in the field — you know what it means to have a site visit go wrong and still deliver on time. You're as comfortable writing a functional spec as you are negotiating with a building manager.

You don't need everything to be defined to get started. You're autonomous, rigorous, and you build structure where there isn't any yet.

• London-based
• 5+ years in project management — energy , proptech, telecoms, infrastructure
• Experience writing functional specs and working closely with tech/product teams
• Bilingual English/French is a strong plus
• Full UK driving licence required

Cultural fit matters as much as hard skills. If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you.
