Location: UK – Hybrid/Field-Based

Start: July 2025

MDE Group is proud to partner with a market-leading Solar O&M company in their search for a Junior Projects Manager. This is a key strategic role within a rapidly growing, values-led organisation at the forefront of renewable energy in the UK.

Our client is an industry leader with a reputation for technical excellence, transparency, and a people-first culture. Due to sustained growth in the number of operational sites across the UK, they are expanding their Projects team.

The Role

This is not your everyday PM role. You will be responsible for leading bespoke, non-contractual projects—works that sit outside of the standard O&M agreements. Youll lead a small team of project engineers and external contractors, taking full ownership from concept to delivery.

You’ll need to be strategic, hands-on, and commercially astute, with a solid grounding in electrical engineering and health & safety compliance. This role offers significant autonomy, making it ideal for a high-performing individual with a strong background in renewable energy project management.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of Additional Services projects (outside BAU)
• Manage a team of project engineers and third-party contractors
• Engage with clients and internal stakeholders to ensure seamless execution
• Develop project scopes, resource plans, timelines, and budgets
• Ensure adherence to CDM 2015, H&S protocols, and statutory notices
• Conduct risk assessments, manage CPPs, and maintain compliance documentation
• Provide technical electrical guidance, QA inspections, and training to junior staff
• Identify process improvements and growth opportunities within the project space

Ideal Background

• 7+ years’ experience in electrical or renewable energy project management
• Strong leadership and decision-making ability
• Excellent stakeholder communication skills
• Proven track record delivering projects on time, on budget, and to high standards
• Proficient in Microsoft Office and PM software
• In-depth knowledge of Health & Safety and CDM regulations
• Comfortable working across multiple project sites across the UK

Why This Role?

• Join a high-performance, supportive, and value-driven culture
• Work with experts in solar O&M and cutting-edge renewable technologies
• Opportunity to shape and grow a rapidly developing service area
• Full transparency from leadership and real career development pathways
• You’ll have a genuine impact on the company, customers, and the wider green energy transition

Benefits:

• 25 days annual leave + Bank holidays
• Life policy – 4x annual salary
• Private healthcare
• Enhanced pension scheme – 5% employer contribution
• Enhanced maternity and paternity package
• Companywide bonus scheme
• laptop
