Mutual Energy Limited (MEL) is an established and substantial player in the Northern Ireland energy sector, owning and operating around £720 million of strategic energy infrastructure assets on behalf of Northern Ireland's energy consumers, making it one of Northern Ireland's largest energy companies.

An opportunity has arisen to join this dynamic and ambitious company in the position of Member. As the company's Board of Directors is accountable to the Members for the management of the company's business, Members, therefore, play an important role within the company.

Members will be responsible for approving certain changes to the company's constitution, approving the appointment, re appointment and removal of Directors and approving the company's Annual Report & Accounts. Members' appointments will initially be for a period of three years. The position is unlikely to entail a significant time commitment at meetings, usually two meetings per year, and, whilst the role is not salaried, reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
