Job description

Help maximise the performance and value of a growing portfolio of renewable energy assets. As an Asset Manager, you'll work at the intersection of commercial strategy, operational excellence and investor relationships, helping deliver the clean energy infrastructure needed for a net zero future.

At EDF power solutions, we’re shaping an Electric UK and Ireland. Your work will help us turn that ambition into action – delivering renewable energy solutions that will power homes, businesses and communities for generations to come.

As an Asset Manager, you'll oversee the operational, commercial and financial performance of onshore renewable assets. You’ll work with specialist teams across the business, drive continuous improvement, and help deliver the reliable clean energy needed to achieve a net zero future.

The Opportunity

As an Asset Manager, you’ll act as the investor-facing lead for a portfolio of onshore renewable assets, ensuring performance aligns with business plans and long-term objectives.

Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, this hybrid role offers flexibility to work several days per week from either our #Durham or #Edinburgh office, with occasional travel to operational sites across Northern England and Scotland. A full UK driving licence is required.

You’ll gain exposure to board-level engagement, asset optimisation initiatives, budget management, investor relations and cross-functional collaboration. You will own the performance of the portfolio of several renewable generation sites for the SPV, and reporting to the Portfolio Manager.

• Experience within an energy company, advisory business or investment organisation managing a portfolio of energy assets or sites
• Commercial and technical experience relating to operational energy assets
• Understanding of energy markets, policy and regulation, including renewable generation applications and opportunities
• Project management experience delivering energy projects and/or project financing of renewable energy projects
• A full UK driving licence

What You’ll Be Doing

• Monitoring and challenging operational performance to maximise asset availability and generation output
• Acting as the primary investor contact, responding to queries and presenting at board level
• Managing budgets, forecasts, operational reports and financial performance reviews
