• Enforce adherence to Health & Safety policies and site-specific risk assessments
• Deliver consistent project outcomes through effective team and subcontractor management
• Drive strong financial performance, including profitability, cash flow, and cost control
• Ensure contractual KPIs and performance metrics are met through detailed monitoring and reporting
• Manage the project supply chain to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of goods and services
• Foster trusted relationships with clients, partners, and project stakeholders
• Recruit, lead, and mentor operational staff, promoting a culture of excellence and accountability

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field
• 7+ years of EPC project experience, including utility-scale ground-mounted solar PV
• Proven background in project management, including reviewing technical documents and scopes
• Strong understanding of HSE requirements, budget oversight, and program delivery
• HNC qualified with relevant industry training (e.g., SMSTS, CDM, IOSH)
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and partners
• Proactive problem-solver with strong organizational and multitasking abilities
• Flexible and mobile, with a valid driver’s license and willingness to travel as needed
