The role
You will work closely with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to help identify energy saving opportunities that deliver carbon and cost savings. You will provide support to help SMEs to overcome barriers to the installation of low carbon technologies (e.g. heat pumps and heat pump enabling measures such as building fabric insulation).
You will also provide advice and support on a wider range of technologies to SMEs, helping businesses save energy and reduce the cost of their energy bills. This will be done through 1-2-1 conversations, in-person events, online webinar training, and desktop reviews of technical specifications.
You will be a central part of helping the service deliver effective, high-quality advice and support to enable the installation of energy efficiency, low carbon heat, and renewables projects, making SMEs more competitive and helping them on their journey towards Net Zero.
The team
Business Energy Scotland is one of the key advice and support services at Energy Saving Trust and is funded by the Scottish Government to provide free and impartial support to help SMEs save energy, carbon, and money.
As Scottish businesses try to overcome the twin challenges of high energy prices and playing their part in reducing carbon emissions, our work is more important than ever. We train, coach, challenge, and guide our people within a welcoming and supportive team, and pride ourselves on pulling together to deliver excellent service for our customers.
You will be encouraged to share ideas and drive innovation within a team that values collaboration and individual input, and we draw on the experience and diverse skills of our team members to deliver impactful support for Scottish SMEs in response to the climate emergency.
What you will do
- Actively engage with SMEs to understand their specific energy-related opportunities and challenges to establish the most appropriate level of support.
- Liaise with SMEs and contracted energy consultants to secure necessary technical information to enable an energy efficiency assessment to be completed.
- Help the SME with any queries they may have on their bespoke energy assessment report and the recommended measures it contains.
- Identify any barriers to the installation of measures and help to resolve these, including enabling access to the Scottish Government SME Loan Scheme.
