The company
[Employer hidden] is at the forefront of the energy transition to a zero-carbon electricity grid.
We are an accredited Independent Connection Provider (ICP), which allows us to design and build HV
electricity networks at voltages up to 132,000 volts. We take each project from concept through detailed
civil, electrical and mechanical design, construction, commissioning and finally handover to the client.
We also act as Balance of Plant (BoP) or Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor for
new-build renewable and energy storage projects sized between 5-100MW. We have become one of the
leading companies specialising in this sector in the UK and are the go-to people for clients looking to connect
complex schemes to the grid within challenging timescales. In the last year alone, we have connected over
200MW of power generation to the grid and have a further 300MW in design and construction.
The company is experiencing a high level of growth which we expect to continue for the foreseeable future
as large-scale, carbon-intensive power plants continue to be de-commissioned and high volumes of
renewable and energy storage projects are brought online.

prosper within the company.
Reporting directly to the managing director, the project manager will take full responsibility for the delivery
