Technical Delivery Manager
The Technical Delivery Manager will take ownership of the technical and operational delivery of our commercial Solar PV and associated renewable energy projects.
The role will predominantly involve managing:
- Our own electrical and installation teams
- Electrical and renewable subcontractors
- Specialist installation partners
- Suppliers and manufacturers
- Customers and other project stakeholders
The successful candidate will coordinate projects from handover into delivery through mobilisation, installation, commissioning, and final customer handover. They will be responsible for making sure the right people are in the right place, with the right materials and information, and that work is completed safely, compliantly, on programme, and to the expected quality.
Project Delivery & Management
Key responsibilities will include:
- Taking ownership of projects following handover into delivery.
- Reviewing project scope, technical requirements, programme, and delivery assumptions before mobilisation.
- Planning and coordinating labour, subcontractors, materials, equipment, and access.
- Undertaking pre-start meetings and site visits where required.
- Developing and managing project programmes and key delivery milestones.
- Coordinating our own installation teams and external contractors.
- Managing multiple projects at different stages of delivery.
- Maintaining clear and regular communication with customers.
- Monitoring progress and proactively dealing with delays, technical problems, and other delivery issues.
- Identifying variations and changes in scope and ensuring these are appropriately managed.
- Taking ownership of issues rather than allowing them to become somebody else’s problem.
- Driving projects through commissioning, completion, and customer handover.
Managing Contractors & Installation Teams
A major part of this position will be managing the people physically delivering our projects. The successful candidate will:
- Manage and coordinate Solar PV and electrical subcontractors.
- Manage our own electricians and installation teams.
- Ensure contractors receive clear scopes, drawings, programmes, and technical information.
- Set clear expectations around programme, quality, safety, and customer conduct.
- Monitor work while projects are underway.
- Challenge poor workmanship and non-compliant installations.
- Hold contractors and internal teams accountable for agreed actions and completion dates.
- Resolve issues between different trades and contractors.
- Build and maintain a strong network of reliable installation partners.
- Review contractor performance and help us continually improve our supply chain.
- Ensure subcontracted delivery meets the same standards we would expect from our own teams.

Hands-On Technical Capability
Although this is primarily a management and delivery role, maintaining practical electrical capability is important. We are looking for somebody who has actually installed Solar PV systems, rather than somebody whose experience has only been managing these technologies.

- Maintain high standards of electrical workmanship.
- Ensure appropriate testing, certification, and commissioning are completed.
- Support technical decision-making across projects.
- Help establish consistent installation standards and best practice.
Compliance & Governance
The role will be responsible for:
- Ensuring installations comply with current electrical regulations and relevant industry standards.
- Supporting the technical requirements associated with MCS where applicable.
- Managing or coordinating DNO applications and approvals.
- Ensuring relevant Building Control requirements are addressed.
- Ensuring testing, commissioning, and certification are completed correctly.
- Maintaining appropriate project and technical documentation.
- Ensuring O&M manuals and customer handover packs are completed.
- Maintaining appropriate technical governance across our Energy & Renewables activities.
Site Surveys & Technical Specification Support
The role will also provide practical, site-based support to our technical team during the development and specification of projects. The successful candidate will:
- Undertake detailed site surveys for Solar PV and associated projects.
- Assess existing electrical infrastructure, distribution arrangements, available capacity, cable routes, access requirements, and practical installation constraints.
- Capture accurate site information, measurements, photographs, and technical data required by the technical team.
- Identify potential technical, installation, access, and health & safety risks at an early stage.
- Assess the practical suitability of proposed locations for equipment, containment, inverters, and associated electrical infrastructure.
- Support the technical team in developing appropriate project specifications based on actual site conditions.
- Provide practical installation input into designs and specifications before they are finalised.
- Identify where further specialist surveys, structural assessments, or investigations may be required.
- Support the development of scopes of work and installation methodologies.
- Review proposed designs against site conditions and highlight potential issues before projects move into delivery.
- Help ensure that projects are technically sound, appropriately specified, and practically deliverable before they reach the installation stage.
- Work closely with the technical and commercial teams to ensure survey information is accurately transferred into the project scope and specification.
