Your role in elevating the East Midlands
We fundamentally believe that the green industrial revolution offers new global opportunities to our region and have ambitious plans to decarbonise and introduce innovative carbon capture initiatives.
Your role will lead the development of the programme that enables this, including strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, project management, and ensuring that all programs align with our sustainability goals. In this role an understanding of ‘growth’ is as important as an understanding of ‘green’. We need to attract low carbon jobs, investment, and innovation to the region and you will connect these and other initiatives to help facilitate both sustainability and economic prosperity.
Key responsibilities include:
- Developing and implement comprehensive green growth and net zero projects and programs that align with the organisation’s mission and objectives.
- Oversight of the delivery of projects and programmes through a mix of internal and commissioned projects, for example Local Area Energy Planning and Retrofit.
- Identifying and securing funding opportunities, including grants, partnerships, and other financial resources to support green growth initiatives.
- Carrying out energy project assessments and utilisation of wider team expertise to generate compelling business cases; project values can exceed £20m
- Developing and managing strategic relationships with key stakeholders including National Grid and Cadent Gas and other important strategic regional organisations.
- Monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of green growth programs, ensuring continuous improvement and alignment with best practices.
- Preparation and presentation of detailed reports on program progress, outcomes, and impact to senior management and stakeholders.
