Solar PV Project Manager

Remote / Home-Based | UK-wide travel
Competitive basic + Company Car + Benefits
Permanent | Full-time

Noble Green Energy is growing — and we’re looking for an experienced Solar PV Project Manager to take ownership of the delivery of our commercial and industrial solar projects across the UK.

This is a genuine delivery role. You’ll take an issued design package and turn it into a completed, operational installation — owning the programme, subcontractors, live site delivery and client relationship from mobilisation through to handover.

We have a significantly increasing volume of commercial installations coming through, alongside a growing pipeline of larger 1 MW–20 MWp projects, so this is an opportunity to join a business where your experience will have real impact from day one.

What you’ll be responsible for

🔹 Building and owning project programmes and Gantt charts using MS Project, Asta Powerproject, Primavera or similar
🔹 Managing multiple live C&I solar installations simultaneously
🔹 Planning and sequencing works from design handover through procurement, installation, commissioning and handover
🔹 Managing electrical, roofing, scaffolding, steelwork, craneage and specialist subcontractors
🔹 Holding contractors accountable for programme, quality and safety
🔹 Mobilising sites, coordinating trades and managing day-to-day delivery
🔹 Reviewing RAMS, carrying out safety audits and fulfilling relevant CDM 2015 responsibilities
🔹 Inspecting installations against design, specification and BS 7671 requirements
🔹 Managing snagging, commissioning, testing and final handover
🔹 Acting as the main client contact throughout construction
🔹 Chairing progress meetings and providing clear reporting to senior stakeholders
🔹 Managing variations and keeping projects commercially and operationally on track

What we’re looking for

You’ll need at least 3 years’ hands-on experience managing commercial and industrial solar PV installations — managing the build and delivery rather than supporting someone else who does.

You should also have:

✅ Proven experience creating and managing your own project programmes
✅ Strong subcontractor management experience
✅ SMSTS or SSSTS
✅ Valid CSCS or ECS card
✅ Good understanding of electrical drawings, single line diagrams and BS 7671
✅ Confidence dealing with senior client stakeholders
✅ Experience managing multiple live sites
✅ Strong organisation and documentation skills
✅ Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel nationwide
✅ Existing right to work in the UK — no sponsorship available

Desirable experience

It would be great if you also have:

• 18th Edition / C&G 2382
• Inspection & Testing / C&G 2391
• NEBOSH or IOSH
• APM PMQ, PRINCE2 or equivalent
• Ground-mount and larger-scale solar projects (1 MW+)
• Battery energy storage integrated with PV
• MCS experience
• DNO process knowledge (G98/G99/G100)
• Solar PV O&M experience

Importantly, this is not a design position.

You won't be expected to produce PV designs, use PVsyst/AutoCAD/OpenSolar/Helioscope/PV*SOL, or originate grid connections. Those responsibilities sit with our Technical Manager.

We're looking for someone who is decisive on site, highly organised, technically credible and straightforward with clients and contractors — someone who takes ownership and gets projects delivered properly, safely and on time.

What’s on offer?

• Competitive basic salary, depending on experience

• Bonus

• Company car

• 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays

• Company pension

• Perkbox benefits

• Remote / home-based working

• Nationwide travel with expenses covered

If you're an experienced C&I Solar PV Project Manager looking for a role with genuine responsibility, strong project pipeline and the opportunity to make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.
