Wind Development Manager
We are seeking an experienced Wind Development Manager to lead the development of onshore and/or offshore wind projects from early-stage origination through to construction readiness. You will be responsible for progressing a portfolio of renewable energy opportunities, identifying viable development areas, and coordinating the commercial, technical, environmental, planning and legal activities required to secure project consent and investment approval.
Key responsibilities will include assessing new development opportunities, managing landowner and stakeholder relationships, overseeing feasibility studies and site assessments, and coordinating grid connection, environmental impact, planning and permitting workstreams. You will prepare and maintain project development plans, budgets, schedules and risk registers, ensuring that milestones are achieved and issues are identified and managed promptly. The role will also involve commissioning and managing external consultants, supporting procurement and tender activities, preparing investment papers, and working closely with internal teams to support smooth transition from development into construction and operations.
The successful candidate will have proven experience in renewable energy development, with a strong understanding of the wind project lifecycle and the planning, grid, land, environmental and commercial considerations involved. Experience managing multiple projects and multidisciplinary teams is essential, along with the ability to build effective relationships with landowners, local communities, government bodies, network operators, consultants and other project partners. Strong commercial awareness, analytical capability and project management skills are required, together with excellent written and verbal communication. A degree or equivalent qualification in engineering, environmental science, planning, property, renewable energy or a related discipline is desirable. You should be confident working independently, comfortable making informed decisions in a changing environment, and motivated by the opportunity to deliver large-scale renewable energy projects.
