Development Lead

What you'll do

• Develop on-site battery projects (co-located with solar if helpful to project and customer economics) at business sites to save customers money and reduce grid capacity constraints.
• Conduct customer site visits for project development, technical evaluation and health & safety assurance.
• Lead techno-economic modelling for on-site battery and solar projects.
• Lead engagements with selected OEMs, EPCs and installers to specify optimally sized and priced battery and solar systems, as well as associated services for business customers.
• Support commercial proposals and presentations to customers for behind-the-meter projects.
• Support vendor management of preferred suppliers across OEMs, EPCs and installers for battery and solar systems, prioritising cost, quality, reliability and safety.
• Work with commercial and legal teams to own and evolve contract templates for delivering on-site energy solutions, both for our contracts with customers and with suppliers.

What you'll need

• The capacity to deal with ambiguity and to operate in an unstructured and fast-paced environment - this is not a corporate style job.
• Hunger for professional accountability and a willingness to get your hands dirty to make things happen.
• A passion for supporting businesses with energy solutions to save them money.
• Professional experience and track record in distributed energy, especially battery technology at the >100kW scale.
• Broad technical expertise across on-site project development, techno-economic modelling, electrical health and safety, technical site evaluations, equipment specifications and vendor management.
• A strong technical grounding in low carbon technology, in particular battery systems, with solar expertise also being helpful.
• Some familiarity and knowledge of flexibility markets and how optimised batteries can create customer value.
