Development Manager
London, UK (Hybrid)
£60,000 - £80,000 per annum
Our client is a renewable energy developer with a growing pipeline of solar and battery storage projects across the UK, and they are looking for a Development Manager to progress projects through the core stages of the development lifecycle. The role exists to add capacity to a busy development team, working alongside senior colleagues to move sites from early opportunity towards consent. You would take real ownership of your own projects while building the experience to run larger schemes over time.
The Company
Our client is a solar and battery storage developer moving towards an IPP model, so the projects you work on are ones the business intends to own and operate for the long term. They foster a collaborative and inclusive environment, with a genuine focus on development and mentoring, which makes this a strong role for someone ready to step up.
