Key Responsibilities
  • Project Management
    • Lead and manage renewable energy development projects from concept through all development phases.

    • Negotiate and finalize commercial agreements, including leading discussions with solicitors and land agents to conclude option and lease agreements.
    • Serve as the primary point of contact for landowners and communities, providing information about projects as needed.
  • Financial and Budgetary Oversight
    • Prepare and present investment papers for project approvals.
    • Manage project budgets and forecast accurately, ensuring senior management has timely information to assess project risks and opportunities.
    • Ensure all critical project risks, particularly health, safety, and environmental risks, are managed effectively.
  • Strategic Development
    • Research grid status and availability and liaise with Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) as needed.
    • Advise senior management on the impact of technical and specialist risks, offering solutions and recommendations.
    • Present recommendations to senior leadership, ensuring all decisions are well-documented with thorough due diligence.
Requirements
  • Education
    • Degree in Environmental Management, Planning, Environmental Engineering, Land Management/Surveying, or a related field. Equivalent experience in obtaining development consents will also be considered.
  • Experience
    • A minimum of 5 years of experience in early-stage solar project development in the UK.
    • Experience with wind projects is advantageous but not essential.
    • Proven track record in renewable energy project development, preferably at utility scale.
    • Deep understanding of UK planning systems, consenting regimes, and land agreements for renewable energy projects.
  • Skills and Knowledge
    • Strong project management skills, including budget management and stakeholder engagement.
    • Familiarity with health and safety protocols in renewable energy project development.
    • Excellent interpersonal, negotiation, and communication skills.
    • Strong report writing and presentation skills, with the ability to deliver under pressure and within deadlines.
