Job Description

I am currently looking to speak with experienced Project Development professionals within the BESS and renewable energy sector.

I’m working on an exciting opportunity with a growing business developing grid-scale battery energy storage projects across the UK .

The role is for a Project Development Manager , with responsibility for taking greenfield BESS projects through the development and pre-construction phases.

This is a particularly interesting opportunity for someone with a strong background in project development, grid connections and renewable energy , who wants genuine ownership of projects and the opportunity to see them progress from early-stage development through to construction.

Key areas of responsibility

Project Development – leading greenfield BESS projects through the development lifecycle

Grid Connections – supporting grid applications, connection strategy and engagement with network operators

Planning & Consenting – managing planning applications, environmental assessments and associated consents

Land – supporting land agreements and maintaining relationships with landowners

Technical Development – overseeing site investigations, surveys, design development and constructability

Project Management – ownership of programmes, budgets, risks and project reporting

Stakeholder Management – coordinating internal teams, consultants and external stakeholders

Pre-Construction – supporting projects through development and into construction

The ideal background

I’d be particularly interested in speaking with candidates who have experience in:

  • BESS / battery energy storage development
  • Renewable energy project development
  • Grid connections and working with network operators
  • UK planning and consenting
  • Land acquisition / land agreements
  • Managing technical, environmental and planning consultants
  • Taking projects from early-stage development through to construction

Salary: £60,000 – £80,000 + bonus & benefits

Location: London / Hybrid

The company is being kept confidential at this stage , but I’d be happy to provide more information about the business, projects and opportunity during a confidential call.

If this sounds relevant to your background — or you know someone who may be a good fit — please feel free to message me directly or connect with me.
