Software Delivery Manager / Technical Lead
Do you want to lead the technical delivery of advanced software solutions that keep the world’s power grids stable, secure, and ready for a zero-carbon future?
GE Vernova is looking for an exceptional Delivery Manager to join our Electrification team based in Edinburgh.
GE Vernova - The Energy to Change the World
With over 130 years of experience and proven innovation, GE Vernova is leading a new era of energy. We are electrifying the world while working to decarbonize it. Our name reflects our mission. “GE” carries a legacy of quality and ingenuity. “Ver” signals Earth’s lush ecosystems, while “Nova” nods to a new era of lower-carbon energy we are helping to deliver.
Electrification
Our Electrification solutions modernize grids, enable renewable integration, and strengthen energy systems. From software to power conversion and storage, we help create smarter, more resilient energy networks.
Let’s Talk about the Role
The Software Delivery Manager / Technical Lead will own the end-to-end technical delivery model for our Wide Area Monitoring Systems (WAMS) projects, ensuring our complex enterprise software solutions are deployed to the highest standards of quality and performance.
You will act as the technical lead, coordinating across cross-functional teams to manage software deployment, operational testing, and infrastructure integration. By blending technical oversight with project execution, you will ensure our commitments to customers are met on time and within budget while fostering a culture of continuous improvement and safety.
How You Will Make a Difference
• Leading the end-to-end technical execution of complex enterprise software delivery projects.
• Driving the deployment, configuration, and operational testing of software solutions within secure grid environments.
• Collaborating with DevOps and internal stakeholders to optimize deployment processes and resolve technical challenges.
• Improving delivery performance through the implementation of measurement indicators and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Developing effective work structures and tracking progress to ensure projects meet schedule, cost, and quality commitments.
• Fostering a culture of health and safety by championing EHS leadership and proactive risk identification.
Skills for Success
You should be a collaborative technical leader who thrives in complex software environments, with:
• The ability to manage the deployment of interacting enterprise software and dependencies across diverse IT infrastructures.
• Expertise in Linux and Windows operating systems and their integration within high-performance network environments.
• An understanding of software delivery lifecycles, including project execution control and scope management.
• A keen interest in grid stability, Wide Area Monitoring Systems (WAMS), or Energy Management Systems (EMS).
• The capability to drive remote teams toward common goals while managing change effectively.
A formal education in Computer Science, IT Networking, or Software Development is nice to have, but we are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements in software commissioning and technical delivery.

• We have a hybrid working model which gives you flexibility to work from our offices and from home.
