Piper Maddox are excited to be supporting a top global name in the energy sector with the growth of their team in the UK. With a headcount in the multiple-thousands, and hugely stable funding partners, this company is on a strong upward trajectory and are showing no signs of slowing down in 2025.

Having been founded over 10 years ago, our client cover a wide range of matters within the renewable energy space - including power purchase agreements, C&I client green energy supply, and in the case of this position, full scale project development of renewable energy assets.

As a team, their UK division is a tight knit group who are all striving to achieve a common goal. You would get a nice balance of a smaller direct team where professional development and career growth is highly promoted, but without the associated risk of lack of funding or running out of pipeline due to the large multi-national organization covering the corporate matters in the background.

They are looking to add an experienced Development Manager to their team to focus on their Solar side of the business. Your responsibilities in this role could include:

> Taking projects from inception, through consents, and out the other side to the project

being at the RTB stage to handover to construction partners.

> Management of internal and external stakeholders in planning, land, and grid matters to

ensure projects progress in the right timelines and budgets.

> Ensuring project viability throughout the development lifecycle, both on a commercial

front, but also financial aspects.

> Assessing potential project opportunities for their merits, both in greenfield project

development, but also in terms of potential project acquisitions.

The ideal candidate here will have prior experience in full lifecycle project development for solar energy projects - both at a utility ground-mount scale and also a rooftop solar level.

Strong knowledge of the UK renewable energy system is crucial here to effectively tie together different areas of the process including grid connection, public consultation, planning applications etc.
