Community Heat and Energy Project Manager

We are looking for someone with experience of working with communities and a passion for
delivering climate solutions which improve people’s lives. Do you enjoy working with diverse
groups of people to help deliver projects which work for them? Are you excited to work with
communities to unblock delivery of innovative local clean energy and heat projects that cut
emissions and energy poverty, and empower communities to take control of their energy and heat
provision? If so, we should talk!

As our new Community Heat and Energy Project Manager, you’ll play a key role in delivering our
major new community heat and energy workstrand. You’ll work with local communities and expert
research partners to move forward local renewable energy projects which help power clean heat
solutions at three different sites in England, as well as developing ways to remove barriers to
delivering this type of project, such as supplying energy locally and matching supply and
demand.

• Contract: 16 months at 4.5 days per week (or a nine-day fortnight if preferred). We are not
  accepting applications for job shares for this role. While we would like to extend the contract
  beyond 16 months, as this is a grant-funded role, we cannot currently offer this.
• Work status: We don’t have a sponsor licence, so we’re unable to provide sponsorship for a
  work visa, and candidates are required to hold the right to work for the duration of the
  contract.
• Salary: £39,200 for a 4.5 day week (pro-rata’d from £43,556 FTE). This is band C3 on our
  pay scale. 
• Location: Some of the role will be site-specific. We are therefore open to candidates based
  anywhere in the UK, although some travel to project sites will be required, and there will be
  an occasional requirement to attend our Camden office, although you would be welcome to work
  there more often.
• Working hours: 0.9 FTE, i.e. 4.5 days per week or a 9 day fortnight. Our core working days
  are Tuesday and Wednesdays, when all staff are required to work. 
• Managed by: Head of Aviation, Heat and Energy.
• Works closely with: Possible’s Head of Comms, Digital Comms and Engagement Manager and
  Fundraising Manager, as well as key external partners including community energy groups.
• Ideal starting date: December 2025/January 2026
• Application process: Application form and two interview rounds
