- Manage commissioning, handover, and close-out of projects
- Support dispute resolution and provide technical/commercial input on change orders
- 5+ years’ experience in project delivery (energy storage, solar, or grid-scale infrastructure)
- Strong understanding of construction and commissioning phases of battery projects
- Experience working with EPCs, ICPs, and DNOs on grid-connected projects

- Comfortable with project tools such as Gantt charts, financial tracking, and reporting systems
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, solutions-driven mindset
- Willingness to travel across the UK for site and stakeholder visits
