About the role

• Construction Asset Manager at Octopus Energy Generation managing multi-technology renewable energy projects. Ensuring time, cost, quality, HSE, and ESG standards across project lifecycles in London.

Responsibilities

• At Octopus Energy Generation (OEGEN), we're passionate about powering a sustainable future. As pioneers in the renewable energy space, we don’t just invest in utility-scale projects; we invest in people, communities, and a greener tomorrow.
• Since stepping into the renewables arena in 2010, we've made waves - becoming a top investor in onshore wind across mainland Europe and the largest backer of solar power in Europe. Today, we proudly manage over £7bn in renewable energy assets worldwide.
• Our portfolio includes over three hundred major energy-generating companies, from wind farms to solar power plants, with exciting new ventures in energy storage, e-fuels and beyond. As we continue to grow, we're looking for passionate individuals to join our diverse and dedicated team, helping us drive the future of renewable energy forward.
• As part of our Centre of Excellence (CoE) for technical, construction, contracts, HSE, and operational management, we are seeking an experienced Construction Asset Manager to drive best practice and ensure successful delivery of 1GW of projects from development through construction and into operations.
• Purpose of the role
• The Construction Asset Manager will act as OEGEN’s representative and client agent for construction projects, ensuring that time, cost, quality, HSE, and ESG standards are consistently achieved. This role covers multi-technology projects (wind, solar, storage, and hybrids) and will work across the full lifecycle - from due diligence, contract negotiation, and construction oversight, through to handover and operational readiness. You will report to the Construction Director (CoE) and work closely with fund-aligned commercial and financial teams, technical asset managers, and external partners (EPCs, OEMs, owner’s engineers, advisors, and regulators).
• Whilst we maintain a degree of flexibility, this position requires an average of 3 days in the office per week in London

Requirements

• Proven experience in construction project management within renewable energy (wind, solar, or storage) with multi-technology exposure preferred.
• Degree or professional qualification in engineering (electrical, civil, or mechanical).
• Strong knowledge of EPC delivery, contractual frameworks, and project finance interfaces.
• Deep understanding of HSE regulations, CDM, ESG requirements, and risk management in construction.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, Gantt charts, technical specifications, and complex contractual documentation.
• Strong commercial and numerical acumen, with experience managing budgets and financial risk reporting.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical issues into clear recommendations for fund leaders and non-technical stakeholders.
• Flexibility, resilience, and a “can do” attitude, with the ability to manage multiple projects under pressure.
• Willingness to travel regularly across the UK and Europe to project sites.
