Renewable Energy Specialist

Help turn renewable energy opportunities into working assets with lasting environmental benefits.

We are expanding renewable energy across our unique operational estate and need a practical, commercially aware specialist to help shape projects from first idea through to operation. You will influence investment decisions, solve real-world site challenges and see your designs deliver measurable progress towards net zero.

What you’ll do

• Visit Mine Water Treatment Scheme sites to identify renewable energy opportunities and constraints.
• Produce and review detailed ground-mounted solar PV designs, including battery storage options.
• Assess technical, financial and operational feasibility, covering grid capacity, planning, cost, risk and deliverability.
• Develop business cases and present clear recommendations to senior decision-makers.
• Support construction, operation and performance optimisation across our growing renewable energy portfolio.

About you

You may be a Solar PV Designer, Renewable Energy Engineer or Project Engineer looking for a role with broader influence.

To thrive in this role, you will bring:

• Practical solar PV experience and understand what makes a project technically sound, commercially viable and deliverable.
• Experience producing or reviewing ground-mounted solar PV designs.
• Confidence assessing feasibility and finding practical solutions to site constraints.
• Awareness of grid, planning, battery storage and project cost considerations.
• The ability to explain technical information clearly to different audiences.
• A curious, proactive approach and a genuine commitment to a lower-carbon future.

Why join us?

This is much more than a design role. You will help shape an ambitious renewable energy programme with future potential across solar PV, battery storage, wind and hydro and influence projects from concept to operation.

Great candidates do not always meet every requirement. If your experience is slightly different but you can show how you would add value, we would be pleased to hear from you.
