TGRC is currently retained by a renewable energy IPP who are looking for a Construction Director to join their UK team. The ideal person should have good experience negotiating EPC and ICP contracts and should have a track record of delivering UK renewable projects (ideally Solar or BESS but will look at wind).

The business has a large pipeline of grid-connected Solar and BESS projects ready to be managed - this is a great opportunity to join a recently funded (but established) growing IPP at the Director level and deliver some great projects.

Responsibilities:

Project Planning and Execution:

  • Develop and implement comprehensive construction plans for renewable energy projects, ensuring alignment with project timelines and budget constraints.

  • Oversee the entire construction process, from pre-construction planning to project completion, ensuring adherence to quality and safety standards.

Team Leadership:

  • Lead and motivate a multidisciplinary construction team, fostering collaboration and maintaining a strong safety culture.

  • Provide guidance and support to project managers, engineers, and subcontractors throughout the construction phase.

Vendor and Contractor Management:

  • Identify, evaluate, and select contractors and vendors, negotiating contracts and ensuring compliance with project requirements.

  • Establish and maintain strong relationships with subcontractors, suppliers, and regulatory authorities.

Budget and Cost Management:

  • Monitor project budgets, expenditures, and financial forecasts, implementing cost-control measures when necessary.

  • Collaborate with the finance team to ensure accurate financial reporting and forecasting for construction projects.

Quality Assurance and Compliance:

  • Implement and enforce quality assurance processes to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements.

  • Ensure compliance with environmental, health, and safety regulations throughout the construction process.

Stakeholder Communication:

  • Communicate regularly with internal stakeholders, providing updates on project progress, challenges, and resolutions.

  • Collaborate with project development teams, engineering teams, and external partners to address project-specific requirements.

Renewable Energy Expertise:

  • Leverage past experience in delivering solar, BESS, or wind projects to optimize construction strategies and address industry-specific challenges.

  • Stay abreast of industry trends, innovations, and best practices to continually improve construction processes.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field.

  • Proven track record of successfully delivering renewable energy projects in the UK, with a focus on solar, BESS, or wind.

  • Extensive experience in construction management, including budgeting, scheduling, and contract negotiation.

  • Strong leadership and team management skills, with the ability to lead large, cross-functional teams.

  • In-depth knowledge of UK regulatory requirements and environmental, health, and safety standards.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

  • Willingness to travel as required for project oversight.

In conclusion, be part of an organisation to drive the renewable energy revolution and contribute to a sustainable future.
