Grid Development / Grid Connections Consultant – Contract
Contract: 12 months
Start: ASAP
Location: Glasgow – Hybrid work pattern
I’m currently working with an established energy developer that is expanding its development portfolio and is looking to bring in an experienced Grid Development / Grid Connections professional on a 12-month contract.
This is a great opportunity for someone with strong grid experience who can take ownership of opportunities from early-stage development through to grid connection application and progression.
The role:
You’ll be responsible for identifying and developing new grid connection opportunities, using your understanding of the grid and available capacity data to determine where projects are best positioned.
You’ll have the opportunity to work with an open canvas, assessing potential opportunities, carrying out the necessary calculations and technical assessments, preparing applications and helping to progress projects through development.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
