• Act as a key interface between internal teams and companies, including Offshore Wind, Generation and Nuclear, as well as regulators, joint venture partners and contractors.
• Lead and support decommissioning studies and projects, including contracting strategies, risk management and oversight of cost, schedule and performance reporting.
• Support the management of decommissioning liabilities, cost estimates and financial planning inputs to enable robust decisions and business cases.
• Develop strategic supply chain relationships while supporting procurement activities, market engagement and capability development.
• Contribute to asset life extension, repowering and end-of-life planning by integrating decommissioning into long-term asset lifecycle decisions.
• Identify opportunities for innovation, improved efficiency and circular economy approaches that enhance value and sustainability.

• Commitment to the highest standards of health, safety and environmental performance.
• Excellent communication, presentation and relationship management skills, with strong written and spoken English.
• Strategic and solution-focused approach to working in collaborative, multidisciplinary and international teams, with willingness to travel internationally and undertake occasional offshore and site-based work.
