Job Description

This is a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves role ideal for a proactive and resourceful doer. Sitting within a close-knit, fast-growing team and reporting directly to the Country Manager, you will manage utility-scale projects completely from the tender stage through to client handover. This role requires high flexibility, excellent commercial acumen, and the ability to work cross-functionally across procurement, logistics, and construction.

Job Responsibility

  • End-to-End Project Delivery: Oversee all phases of the project life cycle—including contract award, planning, procurement, construction, commissioning, and final client handover
  • Stakeholder Coordination: Act as the central point of contact for customers, sub-contractors, and suppliers, while collaborating closely with internal engineering and procurement teams
  • Commercial & Contract Management: Diligently manage contracts, variations, and claims to safeguard project integrity and ensure compliance with standard terms
  • Financial Oversight: Closely monitor project timelines, budgets, costs, and cash flows to maintain optimal financial health
  • Supply Chain Management: Directly manage external partners to ensure the punctual delivery of critical components and site services
  • Reporting: Prepare and present clear progress reports and milestone updates directly to the Country Manager and senior leadership

Requirements

  • Degree in Quantity Surveying, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical discipline
  • Experience working as a Cost Engineer or Quantity Surveyor (QS) is highly desirable (familiarity with CESMM is a plus)
  • A minimum of 3 years’ professional experience managing large-scale infrastructure projects within the renewable energy, power, or civil engineering sectors (Solar PV or Wind experience is heavily preferred)
  • Strong working knowledge of contract management and standard forms (e.g., FIDIC) alongside familiarity with frameworks like PRINCE2, PMBOK, or Agile
  • Self-motivated, adaptable, and comfortable wearing multiple hats in a fast-paced start-up environment
  • Outstanding negotiation, communication, and stakeholder management skills
  • Proficient with project management software (e.g., MS Project, Primavera, Asana) and MS Office

What we offer

  • Excellent Work-Life Balance: Flexible 37.5-hour work week, hybrid remote options, and half-day Fridays
  • Generous Leave: 34 annual leave days (including public holidays)
  • Financial & Health Security: Immediate membership in the company health insurance and pension schemes
  • Culture: A vibrant start-up atmosphere with flat hierarchies, direct exposure to executive leadership, and regular team social events
  • Growth: Strong professional development support, including funded courses, certifications, and long-term career progression within a global energy group
