We are an international clean energy technology company, backed by a global engineering group of over 16,000 people with experience across solar PV EPC, energy storage, and smart energy management. We are now establishing our UK project delivery capability.
This is a founding role. You will be the first project management professional in our UK team — building structure, not inheriting it. If you are someone who creates order rather than waiting for it, read on.
Responsibilities
Project delivery
- Own the full lifecycle of C&I rooftop and small ground-mount solar PV projects — from contract handover through design coordination, construction, commissioning, and client handover
- Manage DNO grid connection applications (G99/G100) end-to-end: documentation, submission, tracking, and direct liaison with UK Power Networks, WPD, NGED and other DNOs
- Execute CDM 2015 obligations as Principal Contractor representative: F10 notification, health and safety file, and ongoing site compliance
- Assess planning requirements and manage the MCS certification process
Construction and supply chain
- Identify, evaluate, and manage local subcontractors across the UK — electrical, civil, and access works
- Develop construction programmes, chair site progress meetings, and manage Variation Orders
- Coordinate with our international procurement and engineering teams on equipment specifications and delivery schedules
- Implement ITP quality inspection processes and manage HOLD point sign-offs
Client and market
- Serve as the primary technical contact for clients throughout delivery; manage expectations proactively and communicate issues early with solutions attached
- Collect structured market intelligence — subcontractor pricing, DNO patterns, client feedback — and feed it back to inform our UK commercial strategy
- Support the development of UK project delivery SOPs and a local supply chain database
- Provide business requirements input to our global team developing a proprietary energy management platform
Requirements
Essential
- Full, valid UK or EU driving licence; willingness to travel nationally
- Independently delivered ≥3 complete C&I solar PV projects end-to-end, with total capacity ≥500kWp under your direct responsibility
- Hands-on experience submitting and managing at least one DNO grid connection application (G99 or G100) — you prepared the documentation and tracked it yourself
- Ability to produce professional written English independently: client reports, variation order correspondence, subcontractor contracts
- Demonstrated ability to build structure and process where none exists
Strong preference
- Background in a UK solar EPC or developer company with hands-on site delivery experience
- CDM 2015 experience as Principal Contractor representative
- Track record of building local subcontractor networks
- NEC4 or JCT contract management experience, including Variation Orders and compensation events
Not required
- Experience on large-scale utility projects (>50MW) — this role is C&I and small ground-mount projects focused
- A perfect CV — we are interested in what you have actually done
The honest version
We are building our UK operations from the ground up. The first project is not yet signed. There is no established playbook to follow.
What we offer in return: the backing of an experienced international group with EPC operations across Europe, a proprietary technology platform in development, a global procurement network, and a team committed to making this work.
If the business develops as we intend, this role will grow with it. We are not making promises about timelines — but we are looking for someone who sees that open road as the point.
