Transformation of energy infrastructures
Modernising facilities is essential for competitiveness and security in the energy sector. Our energy interim managers lead these projects with the required industrial expertise.
- Overseeing the construction of new reactors as part of the EPR2 programme (new nuclear).
- Extending the operational life of the existing nuclear fleet, in compliance with safety requirements (major overhauls).
- Developing international nuclear projects (Sizewell C, Hinkley Point C).
Managing energy market fluctuations
The volatility of energy prices and the growing maturity of the renewable energy sector necessitate ongoing strategic repositioning. Our interim managers support players in the renewable energy sector through this process of adaptation.
- Strategic repositioning of the renewable energy sector in response to changes in support mechanisms and market conditions.
- Strengthening project management and contract management within the renewable energy sector (wind, solar, hydrogen).
- Balancing investment priorities between developing new assets and optimising the existing portfolio.
Transition to sustainable energies
Achieving carbon neutrality targets by 2050 requires far-reaching transformations, driven both by the restructuring of the nuclear sector and by the accelerated roll-out of renewable energy. Our energy transition managers lead these strategic projects.
- Restructuring and improving the industrial performance of the nuclear sector, against a backdrop of a revival in production.
- Implementing decarbonisation strategies and managing renewable energy projects (solar and wind farms).
- Developing CSR and carbon roadmaps for energy sector stakeholders.
Industrial risk management and security in the energy sector
The energy industries, particularly the nuclear sector, are exposed to major risks that require expert and responsive management. Our managers step in within 72 hours to ensure the safety of operations.
- Turnaround of a struggling business or management of an industrial incident or production shutdown.
- Response to a regulatory or environmental crisis, in liaison with the sector’s safety authorities.

Frequently Asked Questions
In what situations should you bring in a transition manager in the energy sector?
Energy and resources companies turn to transition management to lead a regulatory transformation linked to the energy transition, manage an operational crisis at a production site, drive a post-merger reorganisation, or provide Leadership transition management of a key leadership role. Delville Management offers profiles covering electricity, gas, renewables, oil and gas, and extractive industries.
How long should a transition management assignment in the energy sector typically last?
An interim leadership replacement typically lasts 6 to 9 months. A transformation or asset development project tends to run for 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of the scope. At Delville Management, the duration is formalised contractually with milestones defined during the scoping phase, and a Mission Director monitors progress throughout the engagement.
What are the current challenges in the energy sector that justify using transition management?
The energy sector is undergoing profound change: accelerating development of renewable energy, electricity market reform, industrial decarbonisation and energy efficiency imperatives, and the restructuring of traditional fossil fuel players. These transformations create time-sensitive needs for experienced leadership that permanent recruitment cannot fulfil quickly enough.
How does the onboarding process work for an assignment in the energy sector?
Before the manager takes up the role, the Delville Mission Director shares the essential context: the organisation of the site or business unit, relevant regulatory matters (CRE, DREAL, nuclear safety authorities depending on the segment), and the operational priorities of the assignment. A three-way meeting is held on day one to define objectives, success metrics, and the key milestones of the mission.
