Duration: 6-month rolling contract

INSIDE IR35

We're supporting a leading organisation within the UK energy sector looking for an experienced AI Solutions Consultant to identify and develop practical AI opportunities across its Service Management function.

This isn't a purely strategic AI role. We need someone who can understand how teams operate today, identify where AI, GenAI and automation could genuinely improve the way they work, and then be hands‑on enough to demonstrate how those solutions could be built.

The role will involve:

• Assessing existing Service Management processes, workflows and operational challenges
• Identifying and prioritising opportunities for AI, GenAI and automation
• Translating business problems into practical AI use cases
• Demonstrating how solutions could work through prototypes, PoCs and practical examples
• Taking ideas from initial opportunity through solution design and towards implementation
• Working closely with Service Management, technical teams and senior business stakeholders
• Advising teams on how AI can practically be embedded into existing ways of working

What we're looking for:

• Strong hands‑on experience with AI / GenAI solutions in an enterprise environment
• Proven experience identifying AI opportunities and shaping use cases
• Ability to develop or demonstrate prototypes and Proofs of Concept
• Strong understanding of LLMs, GenAI, automation and AI solution design
• A consultative approach - able to look at how a business operates and proactively suggest where AI could add value
• Strong stakeholder management skills across both business and technical audiences
• Service Management / ITSM experience would be highly advantageous
• Energy / utilities experience would be beneficial
• The key is someone who can look at what a team is doing today, spot where AI could make it better, and then show them how it could actually work.

Please note: this role requires travel to Exeter twice per week.
