Project Manager / Senior Project Manager HV Grid Connections Salary: £65,000 £85,000 + car allowance (£500 £600 pcm) + package Location: Bristol (hybrid working) The Opportunity An opportunity has arisen to join a fast-growing engineering contractor delivering high voltage grid connection and renewable energy projects across the UK. This is a business that has established itself quickly within the market, growing from circa £8m turnover in its first year to over £15m currently, with a clear plan to reach £28m in the next financial year. A significant proportion of that revenue is already secured, providing strong stability alongside continued growth. They specialise in delivering 132kV grid connections for solar and battery energy storage developments, operating on a full turnkey basis from design through to commissioning. With expansion underway into transmission-level private connections and international markets, the business is entering a key phase of development. This role will suit a Project Manager looking for greater ownership, visibility and progression within a growing organisation, rather than being one part of a larger corporate structure. The Culture The business has been built by a close-knit group of individuals who have worked together previously, and that has shaped a collaborative and supportive working environment. It is informal without compromising on professionalism.

This is a business that has established itself quickly within the market, growing from circa £8m turnover in its first year to over £15m currently, with a clear plan to reach £28m in the next financial year. A significant proportion of that revenue is already secured, providing strong stability alongside continued growth.
