ersg are working with a major investor/developer of Utility-Scale BESS projects across the UK to recruit a Construction Manager.

As Construction Manager, you will oversee the delivery of utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects from pre-construction through commissioning and handover. Core responsibilities include;

• Lead day-to-day onsite construction activities for BESS projects.
• Manage EPC contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and field personnel.
• Ensure compliance with HSE policies, site safety requirements, and environmental regulations.
• Monitor project schedules, milestones, and construction progress.
• Coordinate civil, electrical, mechanical, and commissioning activities.
• Conduct site meetings, toolbox talks, inspections, and progress reporting.
• Identify and mitigate construction risks and resolve field issues promptly.
• Ensure quality assurance and quality control procedures are implemented.
• Track project costs, variations, and change orders.

This role will see you working client-side, so presenting to key stakeholders such as investors is a critical skill. Experience of delivering projects above 50MW is also beneficial.

There is an expectation of visiting site to oversee progress, as well as attending meetings at our client's offices.
