Job Description

Client Representative / Site Manager

Utility-scale solar | Yorkshire | 12+ month contract | £350 - £400/day

Fancy helping shape a renewable energy developer's first utility-scale solar project from day one?

This isn't a role where you'll arrive once the fencing's up and the piling's started. Instead, you'll join during the pre-construction phase, helping appoint the EPC, reviewing designs, challenging programmes and making sure the project is set up for success before a shovel goes in the ground.

You'll act as the client's representative throughout the construction of a 59MW solar farm near Leeds, ensuring the appointed EPC delivers safely, to programme, to the required quality standards and in line with the contract.

What's in it for you?

Join the project before construction starts and influence delivery from the outset.

Long-term contract with an expected duration of 12 months+ (likely longer).

Work directly for the project owner rather than the EPC.

Opportunity to use your experience to guide a developer delivering its first utility-scale solar project.

Be trusted to make decisions and genuinely add value, not simply oversee day-to-day site activities.

You'll be responsible for:

Representing the client throughout the construction phase.

Managing the relationship with the appointed EPC contractor.

Monitoring programme, quality, HSE and contractual compliance.

Reviewing design information and supporting pre-construction planning.

Managing technical queries, early warnings and contractor variations.

Coordinating stakeholders to ensure successful project delivery from mobilisation through to completion.

We're looking for someone with:

Previous utility-scale solar construction experience.

A strong understanding of EPC delivery and contractor management.

Experience working client-side or the ability to operate confidently in a client representative capacity.

Excellent knowledge of HSE, quality and programme management.

Strong communication and commercial awareness.

If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely influence how a major renewable energy project is delivered - not just keep it ticking over - we'd love to hear from you
