About the Role
We are seeking an experienced HR Manager with a strong background working within a Renewable Energy EPC contractor, ideally with significant exposure to utility‑scale solar projects. This is a fully office‑based position requiring a commercially aware HR professional who understands the pace, structure and operational demands of solar project delivery, along with the importance of structured internal recruitment in supporting multi‑site EPC programmes. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in managing and developing the company’s HR function while leading the recruitment of key project delivery personnel across multiple live and upcoming solar developments.
Role & Responsibilities
You will take overall responsibility for HR leadership and compliance across the business, ensuring full alignment with UK employment legislation and industry standards.

You will be responsible for managing the full recruitment lifecycle — from advertising and headhunting through to interviewing, offer negotiation and mobilisation — ensuring project teams are built in line with programme requirements. Close collaboration with operational directors to forecast staffing needs and build sustainable talent pipelines will be essential.
Required Experience
The successful candidate will have proven HR management experience within a Renewable Energy or Solar EPC contractor. You will have a clear understanding of the solar project lifecycle and EPC delivery structure, alongside a strong track record of recruiting key project delivery personnel internally. You should demonstrate solid knowledge of UK employment law, experience supporting multi‑site project environments and possess strong commercial awareness to support a growing, project‑led business.
Personal Profile
We are looking for a highly organised and process‑driven individual who is commercially astute and confident working with senior operational personnel. You will be comfortable operating in a fast‑paced EPC environment and be a strong communicator, capable of building trusted relationships across all levels of the business.
Desirable
CIPD qualification and previous experience supporting the scale‑up of an EPC or renewable‑energy business would be advantageous.
