Site Manager - Solar & BESS Projects (Cheshire and Southern England)

We're hiring on behalf of a leading clean energy contractor delivering large-scale solar and battery storage (BESS) projects across the UK.

This is a site-based role, and the client is looking for someone who’s willing to relocate between projects. As multiple deployments are scheduled across 2025, having a consistent, committed Site Manager helps avoid retraining and ensures seamless delivery across all phases.

Immediate need:

• First site deployment starts ASAP (June 2025) in the North West

• Second project follows in September 2025, based in the South of England

What you’ll be doing:

• Oversee on-site delivery of solar PV and BESS systems

• Lead teams, subcontractors, and manage day-to-day logistics

• Ensure all work meets HSEQ and client standards

• Report site progress and work closely with project teams

• Relocate between projects as required

Who we’re looking for:

• 1–3 years’ site-based experience in solar/BESS or renewable projects

• Strong leadership and organisational skills

• HSEQ awareness and site certifications preferred (training support available)

• Must be open to relocating for projects

Why apply?

• Relocation support and professional training

• Work on nationally significant clean energy infrastructure

• Long-term career progression in a fast-growing sector

Interviews will begin as early as next week and typically include an online interview, a possible site visit, and a final discussion. Weekend availability is preferred. Candidates should be open to relocating between sites — the first deployment begins in the North West (June 2025), followed by a project in the South.

Salary range £40,000 to £55,000
