This pivotal role requires the successful candidate to support both operational maintenance and capital projects in the delivery of a best‑in‑class service for energy management and carbon reduction. The portfolio encompasses a significant number of corporate offices, spanning both highly critical and standard engineering environments, all committed to aggressive energy consumption reduction and sustainable operation targets.

As the dedicated Energy Manager, you will be responsible for delivering high‑level sustainability strategy advice. You must possess a demonstrable and thorough understanding of green building standards and certifications (e.g., BREEAM, LEED, WELL), as your technical knowledge and strategic findings will be critical to guiding client decisions related to energy consumption, carbon footprint management, and health and wellness improvements.

Strategic Duties & Responsibilities

• Strategy & Policy: Establish overarching energy management strategy, policy, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), alongside identifying, justifying, and implementing advanced energy reduction projects and tools.


• Process Implementation: Govern energy management processes, coordinating internal and external reporting on consumption metrics and sustainability initiatives across the portfolio.


• Technical Coordination: Coordinate effectively with technical staff to undertake detailed energy surveys, feasibility studies, and direct project teams in the implementation of verified energy reduction schemes.


• System Optimisation: Drive the optimisation of HVAC and electrical plant and equipment performance, ensuring enhanced efficiency while strictly maintaining statutory service provision.


• Business Development: Proactively attend and participate in bid/tender returns and presentations, contributing specialist expertise to secure new commercial opportunities.


• Innovation: Introduce and champion the adoption of new technologies to support the achievement of contracted sustainability targets.


• Financial Control: Manage energy budgets, oversee specific energy bill recharges, and proactively lead the correction of deviations against annual consumption and billing forecasts.


• Project Governance: Utilise sound project management principles to deliver discrete technical projects, maintaining robust organisational techniques to manage business‑as‑usual workload priorities.


• Regulatory Compliance: Ensure absolute compliance with relevant UK legislation, regulations, codes of practice, technical guidance, and organisational policies specific to energy, buildings, and environmental issues.


• Measurement & Verification (M&V): Undertake rigorous M&V of energy savings linked to spend‑to‑save schemes or Energy Performance Contracts, ensuring savings are genuine, verifiable, and not skewed by environmental variables.

Candidate Requirements

• Sustainability Expertise: Comprehensive knowledge and experience in general sustainability, environmental, engineering, or building services disciplines.


• System Knowledge: Advanced technical knowledge of building energy management systems and a demonstrable ability to prepare comprehensive feasibility studies.


• Legislation: Proven expertise in carbon reduction legislation and energy saving opportunity schemes (ESOS), coupled with a deep understanding of energy usage and savings potential.


• Quality Awareness: Familiarity with ISO 9001 and ISO 50001 quality and energy management standards.


• Specialist Insight: Specialist knowledge and experience of energy markets, technologies within the decarbonisation sector, and effective target setting.


• Core Competencies: Exceptional teamwork, strategic planning, detailed organisation, effective execution, strong communication, commercial acumen, risk management, project leadership, adaptability, and drive for excellence.
