Full job description

Advanced Renewable Power Ltd are looking for a hands-on Design Manager to take ownership of our design function and help scale it as the business grows.

You’ll be directly involved in design work while leading a small team, with responsibility for the quality, consistency, and delivery of outputs across a growing pipeline of commercial solar projects.

You’ll start with a team of three engineers, with plans to grow this in line with business growth over the coming years. You’ll play a key role in shaping how the team develops—both in terms of people and process.

The Role

The design team covers everything from initial quotation through to construction-ready packs, including:

Initial feasibility studies and yield modelling
System layouts and general arrangements
String and electrical designs
DNO applications and planning support
Full design packs including drawings, schematics, and supporting calculations

A core part of the role is technical ownership. You’ll be responsible for reviewing and signing off on the majority of design outputs, ensuring they are accurate, compliant, and fit for delivery.

Alongside this, you’ll work closely with the Technical Director to improve how we do things—refining tools, standardising outputs, and building a design function that scales without sacrificing quality.

What You’ll Be Doing

Managing and supporting a team of design engineers day-to-day
Delivering and reviewing designs across multiple project stages
Taking ownership of design sign-off for most projects
Coordinating DNO submissions, planning inputs, and technical documentation
Working with sales and delivery teams to ensure designs are practical and buildable
Engaging with clients, DNOs, and external stakeholders when required
Improving internal tools, workflows, and design standards
Helping shape and grow the design team as the business expands

What We’re Looking For

Experience managing or leading a design team (minimum 3 years)
Strong background in solar PV, renewables, or commercial electrical design
Confident reviewing and signing off technical drawings and design outputs
Proficient in AutoCAD
Experience with PV design tools (e.g. PV*SOL)
Good understanding of DNO processes and UK regulations
Comfortable working both hands-on and at team level

You don’t need to tick every box, but you do need to be someone who takes ownership of your work and is comfortable making technical decisions and problem-solving.

Desirable Skills and Experience

Engineering degree – preferably Electrical biased
Utility Scale Battery Storage Experience
18th Edition Qualified
Experience with tenders
Knowledge of construction processes and standards to ensure feasible and compliant designs.

Why This Role

This is a good fit for someone who wants to:

Stay close to the technical detail while stepping into a leadership role
Have real influence over how a design function operates
Build and shape a growing team
Work in a business where design quality is taken seriously

As the team grows, so will the scope of the role—offering genuine progression through increased responsibility within an extremely exciting sector.

Job Type: Permanent

Pay: £50,000.00-£60,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Cycle to work scheme
Employee stock purchase plan
Free parking
On-site parking

Work Location: In person
