Quantity Surveyor

Quantity Surveyor | Weston-super-Mare

The Company

Green Frog Connect is at the forefront of the energy transition to a zero-carbon electricity grid.

We are an accredited Independent Connection Provider (ICP), which allows us to design and build HV electricity networks at voltages up to 132,000 volts. We take each project from concept through detailed civil, electrical and mechanical design, construction, commissioning and finally handover to the client.

We also act as Balance of Plant (BoP) or Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor for new-build renewable and energy storage projects sized between 5-100MW. We have become one of the leading companies specialising in this sector in the UK and are the go-to people for clients looking to connect complex schemes to the grid within challenging timescales. In the last year alone, we have connected over 200MW of power generation to the grid and have a further 300MW in design and construction.

The company is experiencing a high level of growth which we expect to continue for the foreseeable future as large-scale, carbon-intensive power plants continue to be de-commissioned and high volumes of renewable and energy storage projects are brought online.
