As part of our UK Development team, you will lead and coordinate the development of utility-scale battery energy storage (BESS) and hybrid PV+BESS projects, managing the full lifecycle from early-stage origination through to ready-to-build (RTB).
The role focuses on driving project progress across key workstreams — including land, grid, planning, technical and commercial — ensuring timely delivery, regulatory compliance, and alignment with internal investment criteria.
Key Responsibilities:
* Manage the full development lifecycle of utility-scale BESS and PV+BESS projects up to RTB, covering land, grid, planning, technical and commercial aspects.
* Coordinate project development activities, including programme management, budgeting, cost tracking, and data room administration.
* Lead stakeholder management across the project ecosystem: landowners, local authorities, planning officers, grid operators, consultants and legal advisors.
* Support and actively participate in planning processes, including engagement with planning authorities, community consultations and planning committees.
* Oversee land acquisition processes, including negotiation of Heads of Terms, option and lease agreements in coordination with legal teams.
* Coordinate technical, environmental and grid consultants to ensure project readiness and compliance with regulatory requirements.
* Prepare regular project updates and reports for senior leadership and support internal decision-making processes.
* Contribute to market analysis, identifying new opportunities and monitoring sector developments.
* Support due diligence and transaction processes, including preparation of project documentation and data rooms.
* Represent the company in site visits, stakeholder meetings and industry events as required.
Your Profile:
* Degree in Energy, Engineering, Environmental Studies, Spatial Planning, Real Estate or a related field.
* 2–4 years of experience in renewable energy project development (BESS, PV or similar technologies).
* Solid understanding of development processes, including planning, land acquisition and grid connection.
* Experience engaging with planning authorities, landowners and external stakeholders within the UK regulatory framework.
* Good technical understanding of renewable energy projects; knowledge of transmission and distribution is a plus.
* Strong commercial mindset with solid analytical and problem-solving skills.
* Proactive, well-organised and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
