• Prepare internal and external sustainability and performance reports, using insights to engage stakeholders and shape future strategy.
• Facilitate collaborative working groups with tenants and service providers, driving collective action on energy performance.
• Act as the primary point of contact for energy-related queries, and represent the estate in engagement with industry bodies, energy advisors, and government agencies.

 

 

About You

• Experience in energy management, ideally within real estate or mixed-use developments, with a strong understanding of UK energy regulations and sustainability frameworks.
• Proven track record in utility procurement, metering systems, energy cost allocation and performance reporting.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills – able to translate complex energy data into accessible insights.
