Working closely with clients, consultants, contractors and internal teams, you will coordinate activity across the full project lifecycle.
Key responsibilities
- Manage solar projects from design development and procurement through construction, commissioning and handover.
- Prepare and maintain detailed programmes, budgets, risk registers and project documentation.
- Coordinate subcontractors, suppliers, site teams and specialist consultants.
- Monitor progress, costs, quality and compliance, taking corrective action where required.

About you
You will have proven experience managing renewable energy, electrical, construction or infrastructure projects, ideally with direct experience of solar photovoltaic installations. A sound understanding of electrical systems, construction practices and project controls is highly desirable.
Strong communication, negotiation and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and work confidently with a wide range of stakeholders. You should be commercially aware, detail-focused and comfortable working both independently and as part of a collaborative project team.
A relevant qualification in project management, engineering, construction or a related discipline is advantageous. Experience with project management software, contract administration and industry health and safety requirements would also be beneficial. The role may involve travel to project sites and occasional overnight stays.
