Project Manager - Utility Scale Battery Storage

Remote (with occasional site travel across the UK)

£70'000 - £100'000 + Bonus + Private Health Care + Benefits

Are you a seasoned Project Manager with a background working on utility‑scale electrical infrastructure, eager to advance within the renewable sector and play an integral role in the delivery of cutting‑edge BESS projects?

On offer is the chance to join a dynamic organisation at the forefront of the UK's energy transition, in an autonomous role where you will spearhead project management function to drive success.

This forward‑thinking company specialises in the development, construction and management of grid‑scale battery energy storage projects nationwide. They have thrived in recent years as the BESS market grows significantly, and as a result they are now looking to recruit a passionate Project Manager to join their ambitious team of industry experts to continue on their upward trajectory.

The Role

• Lead and manage the delivery of utility‑scale BESS projects
• Carry out technical planning, early‑stage grid compliance and assessment with DNO
• Act as the primary liaison and manage the interface between DNO, EPC and BESS suppliers
• Prepare technical specifications for BoP tender process
• Liaise and manage relationships with EPC
• Oversee construction to ensure efficient delivery

• Seasoned Project Manager
• Proven experience of EPC liaison, grid codes and tender processes
• A background working on utility‑scale electrical infrastructure, ideally BESS
• Strong electrical background and knowledge, ideally electrically qualified
