Project Delivery

Specialist recruitment across project delivery in renewable energy infrastructure

Project delivery teams are responsible for turning developed and financed projects into operational renewable energy assets.

Sustain works with developers, IPPs and renewable energy platforms to recruit professionals responsible for leading and managing the delivery of renewable energy infrastructure across the UK.

Our work spans solar, energy storage, onshore and offshore wind, biogas and other renewable energy infrastructure.

Understanding the project delivery market

Delivering renewable energy infrastructure requires coordination across developers, investors, contractors, consultants and multiple technical and commercial stakeholders.

The experience required can vary significantly depending on project scale, technology, contracting structure and stage of delivery. Some roles require direct construction leadership, while others centre on managing EPC partners, contracts, budgets, programmes and risk on behalf of the asset owner.

Our approach is built around understanding where responsibility sits, what the individual will be accountable for and the experience required to take a project successfully through delivery.

Who we work with

Our Project Delivery work is focused primarily across:

  • Renewable energy developers
  • Independent power producers
  • Renewable energy platforms
  • Investors with projects moving into construction

We support organisations building internal delivery capability as projects progress from development and investment decision into construction and operation.
