Help us power the future.
At Lightsource bp, we’re transforming how the world is energized — delivering affordable, reliable, and sustainable large-scale solar and battery storage projects. For over a decade, we’ve led the field in renewable development, and since becoming wholly owned by bp in 2024, we’ve accelerated our mission to become the global leader in onshore renewables.

Your impact
We’re seeking a Senior Manager of Real Estate to lead and innovate high-volume real estate workstreams across multiple solar and battery energy storage (BESS) projects. In this pivotal role, you’ll be the go-to subject matter expert — ensuring that sites move seamlessly from control through financing and into construction. You’ll also mentor junior team members, set best practices, and enhance processes that keep our projects on track and investor-ready.

What you’ll do

Manage real estate deliverables — title, curatives, easements, surveys — from site control to financial close.
Tackle complex curatives and clear title defects across multiple jurisdictions with speed and precision.
Balance competing project deadlines while anticipating and solving potential roadblocks.
Oversee site control agreements, amendments, subdivisions, and lot line adjustments.
Develop and maintain standardized trackers to ensure consistency and accuracy across the portfolio.
Partner closely with surveyors, title companies, legal teams, and regional experts to keep deliverables on time.
Mentor colleagues, answering complex real estate questions, and foster a culture of accountability and excellence.

Who you are

7+ years in real estate development for utility-scale solar, wind, or battery storage projects.
Deep knowledge of title review, curative processes, survey analysis, and closing procedures.
A proven ability to manage multiple complex processes under tight timelines.
Highly organized, collaborative, and confident across cross-functional teams, including legal, finance, construction, and engineering.
Interested in market trends shaping the renewable energy sector — and motivated to be part of it.
