Senior Development Manager

Overview

Aura Power is a leading global developer of renewable energy projects, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Bristol, UK. We develop large-scale solar and battery storage projects in the UK, Canada, the USA, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Lithuania.

We work closely with landowners and local stakeholders to develop our sites to the highest standards. Our projects are delivered with local knowledge and expertise and offer benefits to the local communities as well as including measures to enhance the natural environment.

By focusing on best-in-class development processes and technology we have delivered a truly scalable development model. Our team prides itself on managing and developing the highest quality solar and battery storage projects globally.

Role Description

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced, ambitious, and self-motivated individual to join our UK development team as a Senior Development Manager.

You will be responsible for managing sites from our existing, multi-GW pipeline of solar and BESS projects through to Ready to Build and supporting the mid and late stage development of newly originated solar and BESS projects. This is a senior, hands-on development role which will involve working closely with other departments within Aura as well as our landowners, consultants and other stakeholders.

We are ideally looking for candidates who can spend a significant amount of time in our Bristol office but we are happy to discuss more flexible arrangements on a case-by-case basis. Occasional travel throughout the UK, including overnight stays, will also be required. 

We envisage the role being full-time but will consider part-time or job-share applications on a case-by-case basis. The position reports to the UK Head of Development and offers the opportunity to coach/mentor junior members of the development team as well as long term career growth prospects.

  • Reporting updates/progress and any material issues to the UK Head of Development weekly 
  • Help find new ways to unlock projects with technical, political or planning challenges 
  • Mentor and support junior members of the UK development team 
  • Support the origination team to help ensure a constant flow of projects through the development pipeline 
  • Work closely with the UK Head of Development and others in the organisation to stay abreast of the latest policy/regulation developments and advise how these could impact scheme delivery 
  • Support project sales processes or the transfer of projects to third party investors or into construction

  • Well-organised and process-orientated with good attention to detail (E)
