Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll also help develop and enhance dashboards, reports and visualisation tools, turning complex utilities information into clear, actionable insights for a wide range of stakeholders.
This is an excellent opportunity to build your career in energy and sustainability while making a tangible contribution to one of the UK's leading universities.
About You
You are highly organised, numerate and comfortable working with large datasets. You have strong Excel and IT skills, excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities to meet deadlines.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You will be confident communicating with colleagues, suppliers and stakeholders, and capable of investigating issues, identifying trends and supporting continuous improvement.
An interest in energy, utilities, sustainability or environmental performance would be advantageous, together with a practical and problem-solving approach to your work.
In return, you'll gain valuable experience in a dynamic sustainability team, helping to shape the University's journey towards a low-carbon future.
