Renewables Manager

What you'll do:

The Renewables & Procurement Manager covers energy budgeting, renewable sourcing and supply procurement for a portfolio of multinational clients across European markets. Budgeting and cost forecasting are the backbone

of the position: the tenders, the PPAs and the certificate work all feedback into a budget you own and defend in front of clients.

What you'll do

• Build electricity and gas budgets bottom-up across several countries: commodity, hedges, non-commodity costs, network tariffs, taxes and levies.

• Re-forecast during the year and explain the gaps against budget and against last year.

• Run scenarios (price spikes, volume changes, new regulated costs) and put a number on the options before a client commits to a hedging strategy.

• Source and manage renewables: PPAs, GOs and REGOs, green tariffs, biomethane.

• Price new offers, model the long-term cost, then keep the existing deals under control - volumes, cancellations, allocation across sites and reporting years.

• Lead multi-country tenders, from first supplier conversation to negotiation and award.

• Keep contracts running properly: site lists, price checks, renewals, reporting on exposure and savings.

• Follow the European and UK power and gas markets daily, and advise clients on what it means for their positions and their budget.
  
  

What we're looking for

• 3+ years in energy procurement, budgeting or portfolio management in European markets.

• A solid grasp of European energy commodity markets: how power and gas price, what moves them, and how that reaches a client's bill.

• Deep knowledge of non-commodity costs, network tariffs, taxes and levies, and of how they build up into a total delivered cost.

• You have owned a budget, not just reported on one: built the model, chosen the assumptions, answered for the variance.

• Experience with PPAs and EACs. Green tariffs and biomethane are a plus.
• Advanced Excel. Power BI, Python or R are a bonus, not a requirement.
• Confident, critical use of LLMs in daily work: you know where they save you a day and where they will quietly get the number wrong.

• Fluent English plus one other European language. A third is a plus.
• A degree in economics, finance, engineering, energy management or something similar.

• Some travel for client meetings and a couple of team get-togethers a year
