As a DCO Development Project Manager, you will be responsible for coordinating Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects through the consenting process, from inception all the way to readiness for construction.

• Successful candidates should be able to demonstrate they have been a lead developer/project manager for DCO projects.

• Minimum of 8 years of experience in utility-scale solar farm development and infrastructure projects, or related discipline. Whilst prior experience of renewable energy projects, would be preferred, this is not strictly necessary.
