Offshore Development Manager

£40,000 - £50,000 + car allowance + benefits, Perth

RWE npower renewables is one of the UK's leading renewable energy developers and operators, dedicated to generating electricity using sustainable, environmentally friendly resources. Our UK Offshore Wind Development Team is responsible for prospecting, carrying out the preliminary design, and obtaining planning consents for new projects - and is at the cutting edge of this major growth industry.

Joining us as Offshore Development Manager for Scotland, you'll be responsible for leading work on new, large offshore wind projects through the development phase and into build. Managing project teams and planning work on a day-to-day basis, you will coordinate all the activities needed to consent and prepare for construction. Reviewing options for further development in offshore wind and the development of the business plan, you will also enjoy an input into the company's offshore strategy. As well as liaising with the Scottish Government on relevant policy matter, you will lobby and engage key stakeholders to maximise development opportunities in the country. You will provide a public face for RWE npower renewables, and work closely with other offshore teams, external project partners, consultants, contractors and developers.

You'll have considerable experience in the renewable energy, energy or utilities industries, with proven project development management experience. A skilled, supportive and motivational leader, you have excellent communication skills and the ability to build relationships at all levels. Previous offshore wind energy experience and knowledge of relevant environmental laws would be a definite advantage, and you will certainly have a demonstrable understanding of both offshore and onshore planning issues.
