Construction Performance Engineer - Utility Scale Solar
We are seeking a Construction Performance Engineer to support the delivery of utility-scale solar projects from construction mobilisation through commissioning and handover. This role will focus on monitoring site performance, identifying delivery risks, and helping project teams achieve targets for safety, quality, schedule, cost, and energy performance. You will work closely with construction managers, engineering teams, contractors, equipment suppliers, and commissioning personnel across multiple project sites.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining construction performance metrics, reviewing progress against approved programmes, and analysing productivity, resource utilisation, installed quantities, and critical path activities. You will investigate variances, identify root causes, and recommend practical corrective actions. The role will also involve reviewing construction methodologies, supporting schedule recovery plans, coordinating performance reporting, and contributing to lessons learned that improve future project delivery. You may be required to undertake site visits, verify reported progress, support inspections and audits, and assist with the resolution of technical or construction-related issues.
The successful candidate will have experience in construction performance, project controls, engineering, or a similar role within utility-scale solar, renewable energy, infrastructure, or major construction projects. A strong understanding of solar farm construction, including civil works, piling, mounting structures, tracker systems, electrical installation, testing, and commissioning, is highly desirable. You should be confident working with schedules, performance data, dashboards, and reporting tools, with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities. Excellent communication skills are essential, together with the ability to influence contractors and project stakeholders in a fast-paced, geographically dispersed environment. A degree or equivalent qualification in engineering, construction, project management, or a related discipline is preferred. The role may involve regular travel to construction sites and requires a proactive, organised, and commercially aware approach.
