Quality & Systems Manager - Renewable Energy

Location: North West (with travel to Devon and sites as required)

Salary: £35,000 - £50,000 (DOE) company car benefits

Climate17 is supporting a fast-growing UK renewable energy developer and contractor in the appointment of a Quality & Systems Manager.

This is a hands-on role with real ownership, working closely with a senior leader to take responsibility for quality, accreditations and management systems across a growing, delivery-focused business.

The role will suit someone who enjoys building structure, improving how things work and embedding a proactive, continuous improvement culture - rather than simply preparing for audits.

You'll work closely with senior stakeholders and department leads to ensure quality and systems genuinely support the business as it scales.

• End-to-end ownership of company accreditations and standards (including ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001, MCS, Constructionline, Ecovadis, B-Corp, HIES and Cyber Essentials via IT partners)
• Planning and leading internal audits, coordinating external audits, running management reviews and ensuring actions are closed out effectively
• Owning and developing the organisation's work management systems, particularly Smartsheet - becoming the internal expert and improving workflows, automations and visibility
• Embedding a culture of continuous improvement, working with teams to streamline processes and prevent issues before they arise
• Maintaining document control, business continuity plans, legal registers and wider quality governance
• Overseeing training management, supplier and subcontractor onboarding and annual reviews
• Tracking KPIs across quality, health & safety, environment, customer satisfaction and non-conformances

• Proven experience in a quality, systems or compliance role within a regulated environment
• Strong understanding of ISO-led management systems
• Pragmatic and commercially aware, with the confidence to influence without being overly bureaucratic
• Comfortable working with senior stakeholders and operating with a high degree of autonomy
• Industry background is flexible - candidates from renewables, utilities, construction, engineering, manufacturing or similar sectors will all be considered, provided the core skills and mindset are in place.
