Job Description

Piper Maddox are partnering with a leading player in the renewable energy sector who have been a mainstay in the UK market for many years. Our client is a fully fledged independent power producer, taking projects from inception, through development & construction, and into eventual operation. Technology-wise, they have a mixed portfolio of Wind, Solar, and BESS assets. Within the current uncertainty around grid connections and the Gate2 process, this company is able to offer excellent stability both in terms of funding as well as the status of their portfolio. They received very positive Gate2 notifications, but due to their stature in the market, they are also taking longer term views into the wider portfolio. They are currently looking to add an experienced industry leader to come onboard as their Head of Project Development for the UK team. This position will play a key role in this company's plans going forward and will sit on their established senior leadership team who cover the full project lifecycle from end to end.

  • Strategic leadership and oversight into project and portfolio stability including financial/budgetary matters, key investment decisions, and commercial considerations
  • Direct team leadership and management, overseeing a full development team encompassing, land, planning, grid, and engineering professionals
