Grid Operations Manager
Location: Wiltshire Office - 2 days a week
Salary: Up to £90,000 DOE + benefits
For the last 20 years, this global independent power provider and energy supplier has been on a simple mission: to provide renewable energy solutions to support the international drive towards the renewable energy transition. They have gone from strength to strength on this mission and are set to grow their team in one of the most interesting spaces!
Their work in the space has led them to having a strong pipeline, including 2.45GW of projects in operation stages, 3.1GW in operation or under construction, and an additional 6.4GW under asset management. Their technologies are varied, working across solar, onshore wind, battery energy storage, and hydro.
Operating as an IPP globally, they have developed their value chain and now offer a fully integrated business model, working across every stage in the project lifecycle. This begins in their development function, which allows them to develop and finance their own projects in their pipeline. They have dedicated teams working across every stage in this process, allowing for in-depth knowledge in-house. Projects then move into their own in-house construction teams, offering long-term partnerships with suppliers in the industry. Finally, they offer an operational function to the group, providing bespoke operation and maintenance solutions as well as energy sales.
Their ability to provide different services throughout the project lifecycle, alongside their varied technologies and global reach, means projects are always different, providing plenty of unique work! They also gain revenue from multiple streams, providing stability.
They have fostered a culture valuing integrity and entrepreneurship. These values have been a core part of the group since they began as a startup and have only developed through their life. They regularly hold team building days to encourage these values and ensure they are upheld.
The Role:
Given the nature of the group, this position will be a crucial part of the team, acting as a bridge between the pre-construction and operational functions.
Your main responsibilities will include:
1. Managing stakeholders throughout the development process and negotiating grid connection offers. Strong connections within network operators and DNOs are essential.
2. Communicating with EPC, IPCs, and iDNOs for construction processes.
3. Providing technical and grid designs for the delivery of projects.
4. Monitoring policy changes and new regulations surrounding operational phases.
5. Reviewing technical designs and contracts surrounding ICP and EPC works.
You'll be working alongside an established development team, closely with a development-focused grid manager as well as a settled operational team.
This is a great opportunity for someone with practical experience and grid knowledge looking to transition into operations.
A practical role within a DNO or network operator would be highly commended.
