Design Manager - Commercial Solar in Melton Mowbray

A technical leadership role for a senior solar designer who wants their expertise to shape how a business delivers. Myriad Products is a well-established renewable energy business with over 20 years' experience delivering commercial solar PV installations across the UK. As our project pipeline continues to grow, we're looking for a Design Manager to take ownership of design quality and coordination across our commercial solar portfolio.

This is a role for someone who has grown into the senior end of solar PV design and is ready to take responsibility for how design is managed and delivered across a business — not just for their own output. You'll be the technical authority that the wider team works to, ensuring that designs are consistent, standards-compliant and construction-ready across multiple concurrent projects.

The Role

• You will lead the design function at Myriad, coordinating solar PV design output from concept through to delivery.
• Working closely with the operations and project delivery teams, you will set and maintain the technical standard for design across the business — ensuring that what leaves the design team is rigorous, buildable and fully compliant.
• Your work will include:
• Overseeing and coordinating design output across multiple concurrent commercial solar PV projects
• Producing and reviewing detailed designs using Revit and IFC-based workflows
• Ensuring all designs are compliant with relevant standards, grid requirements and regulatory frameworks — with compliance embedded in the design process, not bolted on at the end
• Maintaining and developing Myriad's design standards, processes and documentation — single-line diagrams, equipment schedules, string layouts, shading analysis and yield assessments
• Working closely with project and delivery teams to ensure smooth handover from design to construction
• Supporting the resolution of technical queries, design reviews and value engineering exercises across the project portfolio

About You

You are a technically accomplished solar PV designer with a background in the construction sector and a track record of managing design across complex commercial projects. You understand how good design management works at a business level — not just how to produce great designs yourself, but how to ensure a consistent standard across everything that goes out.

You will have:

• Proven design experience within the construction industry
• Strong solar PV design experience, ideally at commercial and industrial scale
• Proficiency in Revit and IFC workflows — embedded in how you work, not an occasional tool
• The ability to manage design across multiple concurrent projects without losing technical rigour
• A thorough working knowledge of relevant standards and the confidence to apply and enforce them meaningfully
• Strong coordination and communication skills — you'll be the point of contact between design, project delivery and clients

You must also:

• Be within commutable distance of Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire (hybrid role)
• Already hold the unrestricted right to work in the UK

Why Join Myriad Products

• A role where technical leadership is the job — not a secondary responsibility alongside project delivery
• A strong and growing commercial solar pipeline with real variety across project scale and site type
• An established business with 20+ years of delivery experience to draw on
• The freedom to set and own the design standard across a growing business
• A small, fast-moving team where your decisions have immediate and visible impact
