Role Overview
We are looking for a capable and proactive Project Manager to take ownership of renewable energy projects across the domestic and commercial sectors. While direct experience in the renewable industry is beneficial, it is not essential.

* Someone from the construction, energy, or infrastructure sectors with transferable project management skills
* A motivated individual who thrives in a small business environment, enjoys autonomy, and takes pride in driving projects forward
Key Responsibilities
* Manage full lifecycle of renewable energy projects (solar PV, battery storage, EV), ensuring timely, on-budget, and high-quality delivery
* Liaise with internal teams, clients, suppliers, and subcontractors to align project goals
* Plan, allocate, and track budgets and resources effectively
* Identify risks early, troubleshoot issues, and implement mitigation strategies
* Use project data to track progress, manage scope changes, and report to stakeholders
* Build strong relationships to ensure smooth execution and foster future opportunities
* Support the identification and assessment of new business leads
Requirements
* Proven experience coordinating or managing construction or energy-related projects
* Strong organisational and planning skills; able to manage multiple tasks and deadlines
* Excellent communication skills with the ability to lead teams and engage clients
