Structural Engineer | Weston-super-Mare

The Company

Green Frog Connect is driving the UK’s energy transition to a zero-carbon future.

We’re an accredited Independent Connection Provider (ICP), designing and building high-voltage electricity networks up to 132kV. From first concept through detailed design, construction, commissioning and final handover, we deliver the full package.

As a Balance of Plant (BoP) and EPC contractor, we specialise in renewable generation and energy storage projects sized between 5–100MW. Our clients turn to us to connect complex schemes to the grid quickly and reliably — and we deliver. In the past year alone, we’ve energised over 200MW of new capacity, with another 300MW in design and build.

With large, carbon-intensive power stations closing and renewables accelerating, demand for our expertise is growing fast. That growth shows no sign of slowing — making this an exciting time to join one of the UK’s leading specialists in renewable energy connections.
