  • Maintain close working relationships with the internal Construction Management team, external contractors, consultants, suppliers, and other relevant stakeholders throughout the construction process.
  • Proactively identify and solve problems as they arise, taking preventative measures to avoid risks to the project schedule and budget. Manage and report on deviations from project schedules, budgets, or scope.
  • Coordinate with the wider project delivery team to ensure seamless project execution from design through to commercial operations.
  • Promote a culture of safety, efficiency, and quality within the construction teams.
  • Support the development of tender documentation and review, in conjunction with the wider Elgin team, contractor designs, processes, and commercial proposals.
  • Support the negotiation of efficient and cost-effective contracts for project delivery where required.

  • Strong technical knowledge of all relevant Construction and Health & Safety standards and regulations across the UK and Ireland.
  • Knowledge of the AC and DC electrical design of solar PV plants, energy storage, and grid connection methodologies.
