Land Manager (BESS & Solar)

Land Manager in Renewable Energy

Hybrid working system with a Gloucestershire office base.

Salary range of £60,000 - 70,000 dependent on experience level.

Piper Maddox are working with one of the most reputable developers of solar and battery storage technology in the UK. With a rapidly growing project portfolio, as well as a team made up of some of the industry's best.

This company has put together a strong track record of delivering excellent project portfolios, boasting over 30 planning application submissions. This goes alongside a current project pipeline of over 10GW spread across 40 connection sites.

Our client has put a high value on team collaboration and a particular focus on a three-pronged approach between land, planning, and grid. You would be joining a highly collaborative and innovative team, where clear communication throughout the business is promoted.

In your role as a land manager, your position would include:

> Identifying suitable pieces of land for renewable energy developments - solar & BESS.

> Undergoing the commercial negotiations necessary to complete a land acquisition process.

> Managing and maintaining strong and long-lasting landowner partnerships/relationships.

> Liaising with the grid & planning teams to ensure full site feasibility.

In terms of commercial negotiations, while all aspects of a land acquisition negotiation are important, experience in securing option agreements, as well as working on easements would be very valuable.

This would be a fantastic opportunity for a land manager in the renewables sector to undertake a new challenge, or a chartered surveyor with renewables experience looking to move developer-side to be closer to projects.

This company also puts a high value on transferrable skills - if you are a surveyor in rural space, or work predominantly on large scale utilities projects, it would definitely be worth a discussion!
