About the Company

This is an opportunity to join one of the UK's most active developers of low-carbon, grid-connected energy infrastructure. With a clear delivery focus and a strong financial position, the company is scaling rapidly - backed by long-term investment and a highly capable in-house team.


The Opportunity

We're looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Junior Connections Manager to support the continued growth and rapid delivery of energy infrastructure projects across the UK. You'll play a critical role in handling incoming grid connection offers and supporting the coordination of utility elements across a high number of live and upcoming projects. With hundreds of projects in delivery or pre-construction, this is a chance to step into a fast-moving, high-impact environment where you can develop your technical and project coordination skills.


Key Responsibilities


Grid Connections Management:

  • Support the review, tracking, and processing of a high volume of connection offers from DNOs, IDNOs, and ICPs.
  • Liaise with network operators to clarify technical or commercial elements of connection offers.
  • Maintain accurate internal records of connection milestones, costs, and delivery dates.

Project Delivery Support:

  • Assist with coordination of grid connection works, energisation, and handover processes.
  • Work alongside the project management and delivery teams to align grid-related milestones with overall programme timelines.
  • Help ensure compliance and accuracy across all grid-related documentation.

Stakeholder Engagement:

  • Serve as a first point of contact for external grid and utility providers.
  • Support the Grid & Connections Manager with technical and commercial interactions across the supply chain.


About You


Essential:

  • Experience or strong interest in energy infrastructure, utilities, grid connections, or engineering project coordination.
  • Highly organised and able to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously.
  • Confident communicator with a collaborative mindset.
  • Eager to learn and contribute to a fast-paced delivery environment.

Desirable:

  • Exposure to DNO/IDNO/ICP processes or an understanding of how electrical connections are secured and delivered.
  • Experience working in a high-volume project setting, ideally within infrastructure, utilities, or construction.


Why Apply?

  • Be part of a team delivering real-world, low-carbon energy solutions at scale.
  • Gain exposure to the full life cycle of energy infrastructure projects - from grid offer to energisation.
  • Work in a high-growth business that offers long-term career development and learning opportunities.
  • Contribute to the UK's transition to a more resilient and sustainable energy system.
