About Green Nation

Green Nation has spent the past fifteen years developing and managing renewable energy assets across the UK, including seven solar farms, hundreds of rooftop solar installations and two large battery storage sites. Our core focus is the development and asset management of solar and storage technologies. We now manage a diverse and expanding portfolio comprising eighty‑three ground mount solar, four wind farms, one hydro installation and several hundred rooftop systems, ensuring each site delivers maximum generation year on year. As we continue to grow, we are actively developing new sites, acquiring operational assets, and expanding our interests beyond the UK.

The Role

We are seeking a technically strong, practically minded Asset Manager with demonstrable operational, site-based and project management experience.

This is a varied and fast‑paced role requiring the ability to manage multiple concurrent tasks, prioritise effectively and meet deadlines. The position is client‑facing, responsibility for reporting key performance indicators and managing a wide range of contractual obligations, including environmental management plans, grid compliance and oversight of site health and safety, supported by our H&S Consultant. There is a requirement to carry out regular site visits.
