This company has a strong track record in utility‑scale solar, BESS (battery energy storage) and hybrid renewable projects, with an expanding portfolio across the UK and Europe, including operational assets. With significant investment backing and a collaborative culture, they offer an exciting platform for ambitious professionals who want to make a genuine impact on the journey to net zero.
