Project Manager | Solar & Battery Storage (BESS) | UK Remote

We utilise the collective ability of our team to maximise the effectiveness of critical projects. Our diverse experience as clients and consultants equally enables us to understand the complexities of the challenges these projects face, and we use the expertise of our team and company to help clients overcome them.

This is a remote position. Help the UK achieve its 2030 net zero goals by project managing the development of Solar and Storage (BESS) projects across the UK from home or one of our offices, at times that work for you.

Who are we? We are Pershing Consultants, a human-centric engineering project partner supporting critical infrastructure development across the UK. We specialise in the project management of energy infrastructure projects including solar, wind, energy storage, hydrogen and nuclear. We have a wealth of experience in managing the entire project lifecycle, from the initial conceptualisation, site selection and feasibility studies, to engineering design, procurement, construction, and commissioning. Our team is well-versed in industry regulations and has a proven track record in delivering projects on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality and safety.

The Role: Due to deepening relationships with some of the UK's most influential energy project developers we need to grow our team, and to do this we are looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead on Solar and Storage Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs). Whilst energy-specific experience isn't essential, proven experience managing large and complex projects worth £100m + from concept through to Final Investment Decision (FID) is.

Flexibility: For us, your ability to do the job is more important than where or when you do it. We are happy for this role to be based from anywhere in the UK, and are open to discussing a working pattern that works for both you and us.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the day-to-day project management of multiple onshore projects during the development and consenting stages.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams, including environmental consultants, planners, land agents, legal advisors and technical specialists.
• Develop and maintain detailed project plans, trackers, and risk registers.
• Manage stakeholder relationships, including clients, local authorities, statutory consultees, and landowners.
• Support the preparation and submission of planning applications and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs).
• Report regularly on project progress, budget, and key risks to senior stakeholders.

Requirements:

• UK based project management experience is essential.
• Proven experience managing complex projects from conception through to completion.
• Experience within energy infrastructure projects is of interest, but definitely not essential.
• Understanding of the UK planning system, EIA regulations, and land acquisition processes.
• Able to manage competing deadlines across multiple projects.

We believe you should be rewarded fairly for the work that you do, so in addition to a competitive salary, you will also receive an enhanced benefits package that includes company profit share.
