E.ON is expanding its UK Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) portfolio, and we’re looking for an EIS UK BESS Coordination Lead to help turn our ambitious pipeline into investable, build-ready projects.
This is a pivotal role connecting the UK BESS pipeline with E.ON UK, E.ON Group and Energy Infrastructure Solutions (EIS). The role will coordinate opportunities from initial assessment and M&A due diligence through investment governance, execution readiness and Commercial Operations Date (COD).
Working across strategy, commercial, technical and delivery teams, the role will bring structure, pace and accountability to a complex, high-profile portfolio.
What you’ll do
- Own coordination of the UK BESS pipeline from opportunity through to COD.
- Assess incoming BESS opportunities with M&A against investment criteria and coordinate the acquisition governance process.
- Lead Gate 0, 1 and 2 investment approvals, ensuring decisions are robust, timely and aligned with BESS Blueprints.
- Coordinate business cases, financial assumptions and commercial inputs across EIS, EEM, procurement, engineering and finance.
- Drive deployment of BESS Blueprints and Guardrails across the UK and feed project learnings back into central teams.
- Ensure projects are technically and commercially ready to build, including supporting due diligence and acquisition processes.
- Identify organisational capability and capacity gaps and coordinate actions to address them.
- Build and lead a high-performing team as the UK BESS portfolio grows.
