Head of Operations - Wind & Solar

With an established, yet rapidly expanding customer base, we have a great product for those who know we do the right thing as well as helping others who are ready to make their energy and sustainability impact. We are innovative, fast paced, and just plain different, with a strong commitment to our customers, priding ourselves on the ability to be highly flexible, agile and able to adapt to each customer's needs. With a unique portfolio of products and businesses, this role is about helping us to drive operational effectiveness and improvements across our fleet of large and small scale wind and solar assets as well as our electric vehicle charging stations across the motorway network. There is also the potential to build and lead a team to safely, effectively and efficiently manage the O/M and performance optimisation of other customer owned renewable energy assets. This is an ideal opportunity for an already experienced O&M manager, capable of delivering increased generation capacity through strategic insight and planning. The O&M team literally keeps all of our machines running, from wind turbines to solar panels and the electric highway. We have sites all over the UK and it goes without saying keeping these going means we can help Britain stay charged, whether in their home, business or vehicle. All of our engineers work directly for us, that matters as they share our vision and values and know that we value safety above anything else as well as great customer service, as well as saving the planet of course. So this makes our leadership roles that little bit different, we want excellence in our operations and maintenance on behalf of our customers, our people and the planet.

Value for money, delivering on time and measuring success are second nature, your organisational skills are an asset and you use technology to assist delivery, this all comes with passionate communication skills and a desire to do things the right way. Your normal working week will be 36.5 hours but we are always happy to consider flexibility especially when you probably travel and need to do some alternative hours, with this in mind you can work on your own as well as within the team, whatever the job needs you to do.
