University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW)
We are recruiting a permanent Senior Energy Manager to join our friendly and supportive team, working to develop and deliver projects to decarbonise our energy use and create energy cost savings.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work in the public sector. You'll be able to make a significant impact and give something back to the NHS.
You will have line manager responsibilities for our Building Management System Engineer and take authority for leading the Energy Team. The role is perfect for someone with experience of energy or mechanical systems who wants to take on more responsibility and get exposure to senior management.
You will need to attend the Bristol site some days in any given week, with occasional travel to Weston-Super-Mare. However, this role offers flexible working from home, allowing you to manage your own schedule.
This role can also be offered with flexible working hours or on a part-time basis. If you have childcare commitments or can't work on a specific weekday, we can accommodate this.
Previous applicants need not apply.
Main duties of the job
Your main duties will be:
* Actively monitoring and managing energy use across our entire estate.
* Developing and implementing decarbonisation and energy-saving projects.
* Overseeing our building management system maintenance contractor.
* Management of our energy assets including solar PV, district heating network, and CHP engines.
The role offers:
* A holistic energy management experience, not just working on standalone consultancy projects.
* Options for project management experience.
* A brand-new Building Management System to work with.
* Exposure to budget management.
This role would be perfect for someone with:
* Some practical experience of managing energy in an organisation.
* A desire to have an impact in your job.
* A willingness to step up and take on more responsibility.
In exchange, we will offer:
* 27 days annual leave + bank holidays off.
* 20.6% market-leading employer pension contributions - one of the most generous pension schemes in the UK!
* Access to NHS discounts.
* Paid training opportunities.
* Strong integration with the wider estates team.
* An organisation at the forefront of efforts to decarbonise.
* A network of professional peers in other NHS organisations.
