Their solar portfolio is growing, and they need a proven Project Manager to take full ownership of complex commercial, industrial, and large-scale residential solar projects.

If you've delivered commercial-scale or large multi-plot residential solar and you're ready to take real accountability for how projects run — safely, compliantly and profitably — this one's worth a conversation.

What you'll be doing

• Owning project initiation and mobilisation from the outset.
• Driving planning and programme control across live projects.
• Managing risk and cost control throughout delivery.
• Handling monitoring, reporting and project close‑out.

You're an experienced Solar Project Manager who's delivered commercial-scale and you can demonstrate:

• End-to-end experience across initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and close‑out.
• Managing subcontract installation teams.
• Risk assessment and permit‑to‑work systems.
• Compliance with H&S and regulatory standards.
• Full eligibility to work in the UK with no restrictions.

Package

• Salary up to £70k, depending on experience.
• Home-based, with regular site visits.
• Pension, bonus and other benefits

This is a role for a commercially aware, technically literate Project Manager who wants real delivery ownership within a credible renewable engineering business.

If that's you, we'd love to have a confidential chat.
