Job Title: Engineering Project Manager
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
Location: Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire (hybrid: three days in our local office, two days remote, with UK-wide site visits)
Imagine leading a portfolio of cutting-edge renewable energy installations, where your technical acumen and decisive leadership ensure every project from contract award to handover runs safely, compliantly and on schedule. You thrive on the fast pace of concurrent delivery programmes and take pride in turning ambitious designs into reality, solving on-site challenges with confidence and precision.
Why this role
You will own the delivery of commercial-scale low-carbon energy projects across solar PV, biomass and heat-pump technology. Reporting to the Operations Director, you’ll manage multiple schemes simultaneously, direct subcontractors on site and maintain rigorous quality, safety and compliance standards. This hands-on position offers genuine autonomy: you’ll hit the ground running on day one and chart your own path towards a future leadership role as our delivery team expands.
What you’ll do
You will take end-to-end responsibility for each awarded project, ensuring every phase from mobilisation and programming through to practical completion and client handover adheres to strict technical and commercial parameters. Your days will be spent coordinating design information, issuing works orders, chairing site-based progress meetings and driving corrective actions where needed. You will prepare and review CDM documentation, risk assessments and O&M handover packs, and maintain clear records that demonstrate compliance with all relevant regulations.
