Development & Construction Manager
Location: UK - 1 Day a week in London
Sector: Clean Energy / Infrastructure
We are supporting a well-capitalised clean energy investment platform backed by institutional investors, as they build out their central development and construction capability. This is a senior, client-side role sitting at group level, responsible for overseeing the late-stage development and construction delivery of commercial and industrial renewable energy projects across multiple geographies.
The Role
You will act as the central development and construction partner to several operating platform businesses, supporting projects from late development through investment approval and safely into construction and operation.
The role combines strong programme and project management discipline with practical construction judgement. It is hands-on and delivery-focused, but not a day-to-day site management position.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key areas of responsibility include:
- Supporting late-stage development and investment approval for solar, battery and hybrid energy projects
- Reviewing and challenging technical designs, construction programmes, costs and contracts
- Providing structured construction oversight across multiple live projects, tracking time, cost, quality and H&S
- Identifying and escalating delivery risks early, and supporting pragmatic recovery plans
- Helping establish and maintain consistent technical and construction standards across platforms and geographies
- Acting as a senior technical resource to support less mature teams and new markets
About You
You are an experienced construction or project management professional who is comfortable owning delivery outcomes, not just reviewing paperwork.
