The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity for an experienced Construction Contracts Manager to oversee the delivery of large-scale solar farm projects across the South of England.

  • Monitor programme, quality, costs, risk and health and safety.
  • Coordinate technical advisers, contractors, stakeholders and grid connection providers.
  • Undertake regular site visits, chair progress meetings and oversee testing, handover and defects.

About You

  • At least 5 years’ experience managing construction contracts on large-scale solar, wind, battery storage or similar electrical infrastructure projects.
  • Hands-on experience administering EPC or D&B contracts, including change control, claims and commercial management.
  • Knowledge of solar farm construction, grid connections and CDM regulations.
  • Strong communication, negotiation and reporting skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects and contractors.
  • Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel regularly, including occasional overnight stays.

A relevant degree or professional qualification, CSCS card and SMSTS would be advantageous.

The Package

  • Hybrid working, with a minimum of two office days per week when not on site.
  • 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays.
  • Eligibility for a bonus scheme after one year.
  • School-hours flexibility when not on site.

Important: Applicants must already live in Cornwall within commuting distance of the Truro/Redruth area. UK right to work is essential; sponsorship is not available.
