Project Manager - Commercial & Industrial Solar PV

Berkshire (office based, with regular site visits across the South)
Up to £50,000 plus package

A well established, family-owned solar PV, battery storage, and EV charging specialist is looking for a Project Manager to take ownership of its commercial installations.

Operating for over 15 years with thousands of systems delivered across the South of England, they run everything in-house, from technical survey and design through to installation, commissioning, and aftercare. Commercial projects typically range from 50 kWp rooftop arrays up to multi megawatt schemes across warehousing, cold storage, manufacturing, care homes, hotels, education, agriculture, and local authority sites.

You would be the person who takes a signed contract and turns it into a working, handed-over system.

What you will be doing

  • Owning commercial solar PV and battery projects end to end, from contract award through to client handover
  • Building and holding the programme, managing procurement, scheduling installers, and coordinating subcontractors including scaffold, roofing, electrical, and craneage
  • Running DNO applications and grid connection paperwork (G98 and G99) alongside the design team
  • Producing and reviewing RAMS, running site inductions, and owning health and safety and CDM compliance on site
  • Acting as the day-to-day contact for the client, keeping them informed on progress, variations, and any programme changes
  • Managing project costs against budget and flagging risk early
  • Overseeing commissioning, snagging, handover documentation, and the transition into aftercare

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.
