Make Your Mark on the UK’s Clean Transport Revolution

Aegis Energy is on a mission : to accelerate the decarbonisation of the UK’s road freight sector. We’re building a nationwide network of next-generation refuelling and recharging stations—powering HGVs and LGVs with renewable natural gas, hydrogen and electricity. With major logistics operators racing towards Net Zero, the demand for high-quality, public clean‑transport infrastructure has never been greater.

This is your chance to join a high‑growth, impact‑driven company helping the UK transition to low‑carbon heavy transport—today.

We’re looking for a proactive, commercially minded Site Acquisition Manager to help drive the rollout of our national clean transport network. Working within a small, dynamic, and entrepreneurial team, you’ll lead the full lifecycle of acquiring strategic sites—sourcing opportunities, shaping deals, coordinating due diligence, and preparing investment cases.

If you’re equally comfortable negotiating heads of terms, digging into financial models, walking sites with developers, and collaborating across technical, planning, and legal teams, you’ll thrive here.

You’ll report directly to the Head of Site Acquisition and join a close‑knit team of four, playing a pivotal role in securing the high‑impact sites that will define our infrastructure footprint across the UK.

• Lead the identification, evaluation, and acquisition of commercial vehicle clean‑energy sites across the UK.
• Manage end‑to‑end acquisition processes for complex or high‑value locations, from search to legal completion.
• Coordinate cross‑functional due diligence with technical, planning, and legal colleagues.Build strong relationships with agents, landowners, developers, and contractors—attending meetings and conducting regular site visits.
• Prepare high‑quality IR and IC papers with robust commercial assumptions and financial modelling.
• Work closely with technical colleagues on grid feasibility and Point of Connection (POC) considerations.
• Support easement negotiations and contribute to Heads of Terms, purchase contracts, and option agreements.
• Ensure smooth progression of sites through the acquisition lifecycle to pre‑development handover.

• A full, clean UK driving licence.
• Degree in Real Estate, Planning, Geography, Finance, or similar.
• MRICS qualification strongly preferred (APC candidates with strong experience considered).
• 3–4 years’ experience in site acquisition, development, or land transactions—ideally in commercial real estate, logistics, energy, or infrastructure.
• Proven negotiation experience (HoTs, purchase contracts, easements).
• Strong analytical skills and confidence with Excel‑based financial modelling.
• Familiarity with GIS, mapping, or PropTech tools (e.g., GIS, Google Earth Pro, Nimbus).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience producing persuasive reports.
• A proactive, organised, delivery‑focused approach with cross‑functional collaboration experience.
• Right to work in the UK.

• Experience at a leading property agency (Savills, JLL, CBRE, Knight Frank).
• Exposure to planning processes or working with DNOs / ICPs on grid connections and POC assessments.

• Pension : 5% employer contribution (minimum 5% employee).
• AVIVA Health Insurance.
• Annual performance‑based bonus (at company discretion).
• Professional development and training opportunities.
• Flexible working arrangements.
• The opportunity to drive meaningful change in one of the UK’s most critical sectors.

If you’re driven by impact, excited by commercial challenge, and eager to help build the UK’s clean‑transport backbone, we’d love to hear from you.
