• Support the coordination of testing, commissioning and project handover activities, ensuring that site works are completed satisfactorily and relevant documentation is in place;
• Promote a strong culture of safety, accountability, quality and continuous improvement across the construction site.

What will help you succeed:

• At least 5 years of experience in site management within large-scale construction projects, including a minimum of 2 years in renewable energy or the solar sector;
• Proven experience managing construction sites for utility-scale or ground-mounted solar PV installations in the UK;
• Strong knowledge of UK construction regulations and health and safety legislation, including the CDM Regulations;
• Valid SMSTS or SSSTS certification, as applicable to the role;
• A good understanding of solar PV system components, installation methods, construction sequencing and quality standards;
• Relevant qualification in construction management, engineering or a related field, such as HNC/HND or a university degree, or equivalent practical experience;
• Valid First Aid certification and other relevant site-based qualifications;
• Temporary Works Supervisor certification would be an advantage;
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel extensively to project sites across the United Kingdom.
