Description
Portfolio Energy Manager
Site: George Yard
Hours: Monday - Friday 08:30 - 17:00
The Portfolio Energy Manager is a core member of the JBS Energy Team, reporting directly to the Head of Energy. The team manages energy performance across a portfolio of 110+ commercial and residential sites, with a focus on reducing energy consumption, carbon emissions and costs for our clients.
You will take ownership of a defined number of sites, leading on energy monitoring, analysis and improvement initiatives. A significant part of this role involves working with smart building technology and data analytics platforms to identify and action opportunities, set up automated rules and alarms, and translate data insight into real building improvements.
You will work closely with site teams, account managers and clients, and are expected to be proactive, self-motivated and able to manage your time independently. The role is based at the Building Performance Centre at head office and involves regular site visits across the portfolio.
Role and Responsibilities
- Take ownership of energy performance across allocated sites, monitoring consumption against baselines and targets
- Carry out regular energy performance analysis and benchmarking using available metering data
- Support the rollout of the Apprise meter reading app, ensuring main incoming electricity, gas and water meters are set up and site teams trained
- Carry out energy monitoring, targeting and validation in line with best practice
- Establish and maintain benchmark loads across your portfolio
- Conduct Level 1 & 2 energy audits across allocated sites, identifying and documenting energy saving opportunities
- Build strong working relationships with site teams, FM managers and clients to support a collaborative approach to energy management
- Carry out out-of-hours site visits where required to identify energy saving initiatives
- Review lease agreements and descriptions of operation to understand plant run time requirements and building constraints
- Assess vacant space, occupancy patterns and footfall to inform energy strategies
- Review BMS time schedules and set points against descriptions of operation, recommending and implementing improvements
- Identify opportunities for additional time schedules to reflect current occupancy patterns, including hybrid working profiles
- Dial in remotely to BMS systems where access is available to monitor efficient plant operation and investigate faults
- Establish and maintain a register of BMS details, remote access credentials and DesOps across your portfolio
- Review O&M documentation and commissioning data to assess building performance gaps
This is a central part of the role. We expect the successful candidate to be comfortable working with data analytics platforms day to day, not just reviewing outputs but actively configuring and managing them.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
