They provide landowners and marine operators with utility-scale marine projects from 1.5MW to 50MW.

As Origination Manager you will be responsible for supporting the Head of Origination in preparing bids from bid inception through to final delivery and close. The role will require working on several projects simultaneously and an ability to work autonomously.

Key Role Requirements

• Degree level qualified (or equivalent) in a relevant field such as renewable energy, business administration, engineering, or a related commercial or technical discipline.
• A self-starter with the ability to work autonomously within a small team environment.
• Demonstrated initiative in identifying tasks, solving problems, and driving projects to completion without constant supervision.
• Proven experience in preparing and managing grants, bids, and tenders associated with project development.
• Strong understanding of the processes involved in securing funding and navigating competitive tenders.
• Sound knowledge of commercial contracts, including reviewing, drafting, and negotiating terms.
• Meticulous attention to detail, ensuring accuracy and compliance in documentation and agreements.
• A collaborative team player who thrives in a small, high-growth, early-stage business environment.
• Comfortable adapting to a dynamic workplace where roles may overlap, and responsibilities evolve.
