Solar PV Project Manager / Electrical Project Manager (Renewable Energy)

Location: Sheffield (Hybrid and Site-Based)

Salary: Competitive + Car Allowance + Benefits

Deliver Renewable Energy Projects That Actually Make an Impact

We're looking for an experienced Solar PV Project Manager or Electrical Project Manager to lead the delivery of commercial and industrial renewable energy projects across the UK. This is a key role within a growing renewable energy business, where you'll take ownership of end-to-end Solar PV installations, supporting the transition to low-carbon energy across commercial environments. If you've managed electrical, construction, or renewable infrastructure projects and want to work on meaningful, future-focused projects—this is a strong next step.

What You'll Be Responsible For

  • Managing the full lifecycle delivery of Solar PV and renewable energy projects (design through to commissioning)
  • Overseeing multiple concurrent projects across commercial and industrial sites
  • Acting as the primary client interface, ensuring excellent stakeholder and customer management
  • Coordinating EPC delivery, including subcontractors, site teams, and internal engineering functions
  • Managing project budgets, cost control, and programme timelines
  • Leading health and safety planning, RAMS, and compliance across sites
  • Supporting grid connection processes, permits, and DNO applications
  • Working closely with design teams on technical specifications and system layouts
  • Ensuring high-quality project documentation and handover packs

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.
