Client Representative / Site Manager Utility-scale solar Yorkshire 12+ month contract £350 - £400/day

Fancy helping shape a renewable energy developer's first utility-scale solar project from day one?

This isn't a role where you'll arrive once the fencing's up and the piling's started. Instead, you'll join during the pre-construction phase, helping appoint the EPC, reviewing designs, challenging programmes and making sure the project is set up for success before a shovel goes in the ground.

You'll act as the client's representative throughout the construction of a 59MW solar farm near Leeds, ensuring the appointed EPC delivers safely, to programme, to the required quality standards and in line with the contract.

What's in it for you?

• Join the project before construction starts and influence delivery from the outset.
• Long-term contract with an expected duration of 12 months+ (likely longer).
• Work directly for the project owner rather than the EPC.
• Opportunity to use your experience to guide a developer delivering its first utility-scale solar project.
• Be trusted to make decisions and genuinely add value, not simply oversee day-to-day site activities.

You'll be responsible for:

• Representing the client throughout the construction phase.
• Managing the relationship with the appointed EPC contractor.
• Monitoring programme, quality, HSE and contractual compliance.
• Reviewing design information and supporting pre-construction planning.
• Managing technical queries, early warnings and contractor variations.
• Coordinating stakeholders to ensure successful project delivery from mobilisation through to completion.

We're looking for someone with:

• Previous utility-scale solar construction experience.
• A strong understanding of EPC delivery and contractor management.
• Experience working client-side or the ability to operate confidently in a client representative capacity.
• Excellent knowledge of HSE, quality and programme management.
• Strong communication and commercial awareness.

If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely influence how a major renewable energy project is delivered - not just keep it ticking over - we'd love to hear from you.
