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.

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).
