Project Controller
Basingstoke (Hybrid)
£55,000 - £65,000 (room for flexibility)
TGRC is partnered with a leading international provider of utility-scale and commercial solar PV solutions to recruit a Project Controller for their growing UK team in Basingstoke. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in the delivery of one of the UK's largest solar projects, joining a business at the forefront of the renewable energy transition.
This is not a traditional project controlling role. Alongside financial oversight and project performance monitoring, you'll work across project operations, business processes, and systems improvement, making a meaningful contribution to how projects are delivered and the wider organisation operates.
The Role
Working closely with Project Managers and senior leadership, you will provide financial and operational support across a portfolio of renewable energy projects. You'll be responsible for monitoring project performance, analysing financial data, supporting forecasting activities, and helping to develop the systems and processes that underpin successful project delivery.
