Solar Project Manager
Solar Project Manager
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Solar Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of commercial and utility-scale solar photovoltaic projects. You will oversee projects from initial planning and design through procurement, construction, commissioning and handover, ensuring they are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the required quality standards.
Working closely with clients, consultants, contractors, suppliers and internal teams, you will provide clear leadership across multiple workstreams. The role requires excellent organisation, strong commercial awareness and the ability to manage changing priorities in a fast-paced renewable energy environment.
Key responsibilities
- Manage the full project lifecycle, including programme, budget, resources, risks and quality requirements.
- Coordinate design development, planning approvals, grid connection activities, procurement and construction delivery.
- Lead regular project meetings and maintain effective communication with clients, contractors and stakeholders.
- Monitor progress against key milestones, identify potential issues and implement timely corrective actions.
- Manage contracts, variations, commercial reporting and payment processes in collaboration with relevant teams.
- Ensure compliance with health and safety legislation, environmental requirements and industry standards.
- Review technical documentation, method statements, risk assessments and commissioning information.
- Support the transition of completed projects into operations, including handover documentation and lessons learned.
About you
You will have proven experience managing renewable energy, construction, engineering or infrastructure projects, ideally with direct experience of solar PV installations. A sound understanding of project management methodologies, construction processes, electrical systems and health and safety requirements is essential.
You should be commercially astute, confident managing budgets and contracts, and comfortable working with a wide range of stakeholders. Strong communication, negotiation and problem-solving skills are required, along with the ability to work independently and make informed decisions under pressure.
A relevant qualification in project management, engineering, construction or a related discipline would be advantageous. The role may involve travel to project sites, so a flexible approach and willingness to travel are expected.
