Job Search

We are seeking an experienced Utilities Renewable Energy Project Manager to lead the development and delivery of renewable energy projects across a complex utilities environment. The role will oversee projects from feasibility and design through procurement, construction, commissioning and handover, ensuring that programmes are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the required technical and regulatory standards. You will manage a portfolio of projects involving technologies such as solar, battery storage, wind, heat networks or other low-carbon infrastructure, depending on business priorities.

Key responsibilities will include defining project scope, governance, schedules, budgets, risks and resource requirements; coordinating internal teams, consultants, contractors, network operators and statutory bodies; and managing procurement, contract administration, design reviews, construction progress, testing and operational readiness. You will monitor performance against agreed milestones, provide clear reporting to senior stakeholders, and lead the resolution of commercial, technical and delivery issues. The role will also involve ensuring compliance with health and safety, environmental, planning and industry regulations, while identifying opportunities to improve project value, carbon reduction and long-term asset performance.

Applicants should have substantial project management experience within the utilities, energy, infrastructure or related sectors, with demonstrable experience delivering renewable or low-carbon projects. A recognised project management qualification, such as APM, PRINCE2 or an equivalent, would be advantageous, alongside a strong understanding of engineering, construction and commercial principles. You will be confident managing multidisciplinary teams and external partners, interpreting technical and financial information, and communicating effectively with stakeholders at all levels. Strong organisation, negotiation, risk management and problem-solving skills are essential, as is a commitment to safe, sustainable and inclusive ways of working. A relevant degree or professional qualification and experience of working within regulated environments would be desirable.
