They also have 70MW of projects in construction stages, with the connections varying from transmission and distribution level.

As they're an IPP, they have multiple revenue streams, working on projects through development stages and selling at shovel ready state, as well as acquiring projects and managing through construction processes, as well as owning and operating sites. Your role will run through the full project lifecycle, giving you a varied role with lots of opportunities to develop skillsets.

- Reviewing, managing and generating new grid connection offers for these large scale projects.
- Liaising with DNO & TSO for these projects. Establishing these relationships, and making sure grid offers are optimal.
- Managing application processes, ensuring projects reach major milestones and marks.

Although this role will encompass the full project lifecycle, prior experience & knowledge is only necessary in pre-construction phases.

This role will also have on site visits to see the projects as they are being constructed.
