- Coordinate consultants, contractors, suppliers, grid partners, landowners and internal stakeholders.
- Manage contract performance, change control, variations, payment applications and commercial reporting.
- Ensure all works comply with relevant health and safety, environmental, planning and technical requirements.
- Monitor progress against milestones, identify emerging issues and implement effective corrective actions.

About you
You will have substantial project management experience within the renewable energy, construction, engineering or infrastructure sectors, ideally with a strong background in solar PV delivery. Experience managing projects through the full lifecycle, including contractor oversight and commissioning, is essential. A relevant degree or professional qualification in engineering, construction, project management or a related discipline would be advantageous.
You should be confident interpreting technical and commercial information, managing competing priorities and making sound decisions in a fast-moving environment. Strong communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills are required, alongside a practical, collaborative approach to problem-solving. You will be comfortable working independently, travelling to project sites when required and maintaining high standards of safety, quality and professionalism.
This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to the delivery of large-scale renewable energy projects and support the continued transition towards a lower-carbon energy system.
