Freelance Project & Construction Managers – UK Utility-Scale Solar (Start Feb 2026)
1 - 2 year Contracts | UK Travel
We’re supporting a major international renewables developer delivering two new 55 MW utility-scale solar parks in the UK. They’re now looking for experienced Project Managers and Construction Managers to join on a freelance basis.
If you’ve actually built large solar sites in the UK — and can prove it — you’re exactly who they want to talk to.

* Day-to-day oversight of engineering, construction and commissioning
* On-site leadership of engineers, subcontractors & civil/electrical teams
* Procurement, supplier coordination & contract negotiation
* Technical evaluation and hands-on problem-solving
* Driving the project from breaking ground to operational handover
This is real, on-the-ground project delivery — not remote oversight.
