Although technical, understanding the commercial aspects of these services is essential.

This role is strategic within RES, focusing on developing Grid Services and increasing the standardization and volume of Grid-related services for the Asset Management business. Responsibilities include identifying new Grid service opportunities, promoting these services to clients, and maximizing revenue potential, especially with key accounts.

• Providing monthly Grid Strategy reports to the UK&I Asset Management Team.
• Supporting the Advisory Team with technical reviews and Grid documentation queries.
• Participating in meetings with UK&I Energy Networks, Routes to Market, and Control Centre teams.
• Understanding client needs, coordinating delivery of Grid services and projects, and managing technical and commercial aspects.
• Identifying additional chargeable Grid services and monitoring their financial performance.
• Leading expertise in areas relevant to the Operations Support Team and participating in continuous improvement initiatives.
• Supporting growth and cost reduction targets.

Additional responsibilities include:

• Serving as the first contact for Grid-related issues within the UK&I Asset Management Team.
• Preparing reports and presentations on Grid Services and Compliance.
• Engaging internally and externally, including with clients, industry events, and grid operators.
• Traveling within the UK, Ireland, and Europe, and presenting at conferences to enhance RES visibility.

Knowledge required includes Grid Ancillary Services, regulations, wind and solar technologies, safety standards, and electrical equipment. Skills include initiative, planning, project management, and commercial awareness. Experience in managing Grid issues on renewable assets, project management, and renewable technologies is essential. A degree or equivalent in Electrical Engineering or relevant discipline is required.
