About the Role
Noble Green Energy is growing — and we’re looking for an experienced Solar PV Project Manager to take ownership of the delivery of our commercial and industrial solar projects across the UK.
This is a genuine delivery role. You’ll take an issued design package and turn it into a completed, operational installation — owning the programme, subcontractors, live site delivery and client relationship from mobilisation through to handover.
We have a significantly increasing volume of commercial installations coming through, alongside a growing pipeline of larger 1 MW–20 MWp projects, so this is an opportunity to join a business where your experience will have real impact from day one.
Responsibilities
- Building and owning project programmes and Gantt charts using MS Project, Asta Powerproject, Primavera or similar
- Managing multiple live C&I solar installations simultaneously
- Planning and sequencing works from design handover through procurement, installation, commissioning and handover
- Managing electrical, roofing, scaffolding, steelwork, craneage and specialist subcontractors
- Holding contractors accountable for programme, quality and safety
- Mobilising sites, coordinating trades and managing day-to-day delivery
- Reviewing RAMS, carrying out safety audits and fulfilling relevant CDM 2015 responsibilities
- Inspecting installations against design, specification and BS 7671 requirements
- Managing snagging, commissioning, testing and final handover
- Acting as the main client contact throughout construction
- Chairing progress meetings and providing clear reporting to senior stakeholders
- Managing variations and keeping projects commercially and operationally on track
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Requirements
You’ll need at least 3 years’ hands-on experience managing commercial and industrial solar PV installations — managing the build and delivery rather than supporting someone else who does.
You should also have:
- Proven experience creating and managing your own project programmes
- Strong subcontractor management experience
- SMSTS or SSSTS
- Valid CSCS or ECS card
- Good understanding of electrical drawings, single line diagrams and BS 7671
- Confidence dealing with senior client stakeholders
- Experience managing multiple live sites
- Strong organisation and documentation skills
- Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel nationwide
- Existing right to work in the UK — no sponsorship available
Desirable experience
- 18th Edition / C&G 2382
- Inspection & Testing / C&G 2391
- NEBOSH or IOSH
- APM PMQ, PRINCE2 or equivalent
- Ground-mount and larger-scale solar projects (1 MW+)
- Battery energy storage integrated with PV
- MCS experience
- DNO process knowledge (G98/G99/G100)
- Solar PV O&M experience
Importantly, this is not a design position.
You won't be expected to produce PV designs, use PVsyst/AutoCAD/OpenSolar/Helioscope/PV*SOL, or originate grid connections. Those responsibilities sit with our Technical Manager.

What’s on Offer?
- Competitive basic salary, depending on experience
- Bonus
- Company car
- 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays
- Company pension
- Perkbox benefits
- Remote / home-based working
- Nationwide travel with expenses covered
