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
