Stakeholder & fund engagement: Present progress, risks, and recommendations to boards, lenders, and fund heads bi weekly ops meetings, monthly briefings, quarterly reviews. Collaborate with commercial and financial teams on transactions (financing, acquisitions, divestments), ensuring construction considerations are fully addressed. HSE & ESG: Champion OEGEN's safety culture, focusing on contractor compliance with CDM and SHE policies, and embedding ESG principles in construction delivery. Review and enforce project specific HSE plans and conduct regular site visits. Handover & continuous improvement: Ensure smooth transition from construction into operations, including delivery of as built documentation, warranties, permits, and asset readiness packs.

Technical and contractual leadership: Support negotiation and drafting of EPC and O&M contracts, ensuring technical appendices and scopes of work reflect best in market standards. Critique technical due diligence reports, yield assumptions, construction plans, challenging advisors and contractors where necessary. Stakeholder & fund engagement: Present progress, risks, and recommendations to boards, lenders, and fund heads bi weekly ops meetings, monthly briefings, quarterly reviews. Collaborate with commercial and financial teams on transactions (financing, acquisitions, divestments), ensuring construction considerations are fully addressed. HSE & ESG: Champion OEGEN's safety culture, focusing on contractor compliance with CDM and SHE policies, and embedding ESG principles in construction delivery. Review and enforce project specific HSE plans and conduct regular site visits. Handover & continuous improvement: Ensure smooth transition from construction into operations, including delivery of as built documentation, warranties, permits, and asset readiness packs. Capture and embed lessons learned into CoE frameworks, driving continual improvement. What you'll need Proven experience in construction project management within renewable energy (wind, solar, or storage) with multi technology exposure preferred. Degree or professional qualification in engineering (electrical, civil, or mechanical). Strong knowledge of EPC delivery, contractual frameworks, and project finance interfaces. Deep understanding of HSE regulations, CDM, ESG requirements, and risk management in construction. Ability to interpret engineering drawings, Gantt charts, technical specifications, and complex contractual documentation.

Why join the CoE? This is a unique opportunity to be part of a specialist centre of excellence, where you'll shape the way construction asset management is delivered across technologies.
