Community Renewable Energy Adviser

Are you passionate about renewable energy and climate action? Do you enjoy working with community organisations and building lasting relationships? Are you confident researching, creating and delivering support packages to enable community organisations to make informed decisions about renewable energy? Can you explain technical information in clear, engaging and memorable ways?

This post is being created with funding from The National Lottery Climate Action Fund for the Cool Wirral Thriving Communities Programme.

The Community Renewable Energy Adviser will work directly with and provide support to community organisation leads on Wirral to enable them to investigate the feasibility of installing energy efficient measures and low carbon energy generation to reduce their buildings energy demand, bills and carbon footprint. They will support the Sustainable Organisations Adviser to research, develop and explore the creation of a new community energy organisation.
