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
