Project Manager

We're a family-owned renewable energy business in Greater Manchester. We design, install and maintain Solar PV systems for local authorities, schools, colleges, academy trusts and commercial clients. Over 20 years, we've built our reputation on technical excellence, integrity and long-term relationships rather than chasing volume.

We're growing, and we're looking for a Project Manager to take ownership of a busy, varied portfolio of commercial solar PV projects.

You'll manage projects from planning through to successful completion. That means looking after programs, documentation, resources and client communication, and also getting out to site to work with installation teams and resolve practical issues. Our work is mainly in the public sector and education markets, and we're building our private commercial offering. Multi-site programs are increasingly common, with up to four sites running at once.

You'll have strong support around you, including a capable Degree Apprentice, whom you'll guide and mentor day-to-day, and an experienced business support team.

Success here isn't only about finishing projects. It's about giving customers an excellent experience so they choose to work with us again.

You're highly organised, proactive and enthusiastic. You keep sight of the bigger picture without losing the detail, and you spot issues early and act before they affect program, quality or the customer. You're calm under pressure, solutions-focused and comfortable making decisions. You also enjoy being part of a close-knit team.

Our culture

We're a collaborative, low-ego team where relationships matter more than hierarchy. We want everyone to feel seen, known, heard, valued and supported. We encourage initiative, reward hard work and invest in training and development, and we currently employ four apprentices. Cultural fit matters to us as much as capability.
