Development Project Manager

I am currently looking to speak with experienced Project Development professionals within the BESS and renewable energy sector.

I’m working on an exciting opportunity with a growing business developing grid-scale battery energy storage projects across the UK.

The role is for a Project Development Manager, with responsibility for taking greenfield BESS projects through the development and pre-construction phases.

This is a particularly interesting opportunity for someone with a strong background in project development, grid connections and renewable energy, who wants genuine ownership of projects and the opportunity to see them progress from early-stage development through to construction.

Key areas of responsibility

• Project Development – leading greenfield BESS projects through the development lifecycle

• Grid Connections – supporting grid applications, connection strategy and engagement with network operators

• Planning & Consenting – managing planning applications, environmental assessments and associated consents

• Land – supporting land agreements and maintaining relationships with landowners

• Technical Development – overseeing site investigations, surveys, design development and constructability

• Project Management – ownership of programmes, budgets, risks and project reporting

• Stakeholder Management – coordinating internal teams, consultants and external stakeholders

• Pre-Construction – supporting projects through development and into construction

The ideal background

I’d be particularly interested in speaking with candidates who have experience in:

• BESS / battery energy storage development
• Renewable energy project development
• Grid connections and working with network operators
• UK planning and consenting
• Land acquisition / land agreements
• Managing technical, environmental and planning consultants
• Taking projects from early-stage development through to construction

Salary: £60,000 – £80,000 + bonus & benefits

Location: London / Hybrid

The company is being kept confidential at this stage, but I’d be happy to provide more information about the business, projects and opportunity during a confidential call.

If this sounds relevant to your background — or you know someone who may be a good fit — please feel free to message me directly or connect with me.
