Freelance Project & Construction Managers – UK Utility-Scale Solar (Start Feb 2026)

1 - 2 year Contracts | UK Travel

We're supporting a major international renewables developer delivering
two new 55 MW utility-scale solar parks in the UK
. They're now looking for experienced
Project Managers
and
Construction Managers
to join on a freelance basis.

If you've actually built large solar sites in the UK — and can prove it — you're exactly who they want to talk to.

The Role

You'll be responsible for full-lifecycle delivery of utility-scale solar projects:

  • Day-to-day oversight of engineering, construction and commissioning
  • On-site leadership of engineers, subcontractors & civil/electrical teams
  • Procurement, supplier coordination & contract negotiation
  • Technical evaluation and hands-on problem-solving
  • Driving the project from breaking ground to operational handover

This is real, on-the-ground project delivery — not remote oversight.

What You Need

This client wants
genuine
UK solar experience — no inflated CVs.

Must-haves:

  • Proven track record delivering
    utility-scale UK solar farms
  • Strong understanding of UK grid-connection processes —
    G99 experience is a big advantage
  • Experience leading multidisciplinary teams on-site
  • Ability to travel to UK project locations as needed
  • Commitment to long-term engagements (1–2+ years)

Bonus points:

  • Experience with international EPCs
  • Strong commercial and supplier negotiation background

Timeline

  • Interviews can move quickly
  • Start date: February 2026
  • Feedback may slow slightly during Dec due to heavy workloads
