Job Description
Principal Energy Consultant
Location: South Yorkshire /Derbyshire
Salary: Competitive Salary + Performance Bonus
Overview:
Are you ready to lead the clean energy revolution for UK businesses?
We’re working with an exciting high-growth scale-up on a mission to make Net Zero simple and accessible. Backed by one of the world’s largest infrastructure investors, we help organisations accelerate their transition to low-carbon technologies — including solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, efficient heating and lighting — all without upfront capital costs.
Our client is now building out their energy consultancy offering and we’re looking for an ambitious Principal Energy Consultant to take the lead.
About the Role:
As Principal Energy Consultant, you’ll design and lead the advisory function — from site audit to business case to signed project.
You’ll guide customers on their journey to Net Zero, helping them understand the best-fit technical and commercial solutions for their sites.
You’ll work closely with business development, delivery, and technical teams to shape tailored clean energy strategies that deliver real carbon and cost savings.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Lead structured consultancy engagements across solar, storage, EV, low-carbon heat and lighting
Conduct site audits and develop robust business cases (IRR, NPV, payback, carbon impact)
Translate complex energy solutions into clear, compelling strategies for C-suite decision-makers
Support tender submissions and proposals with technical and commercial insight
Define scalable processes, templates, and tools to grow the consultancy function
Champion innovation — from AI-based modelling to smarter digital workflows
What You Bring:
3+ years’ experience in energy consultancy, engineering, or low-carbon project delivery
Strong working knowledge of solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, LED lighting and heat decarbonisation
Confident in customer engagement, business case presentation, and commercial analysis
Awareness of energy optimisation, flexibility markets and battery trading
Experience with public or private sector tenders (PQQ, RFP, ITT)
A passion for clean tech and a self-starter mindset
What’s in it for You?
Competitive salary
Performance-based bonus tied to project wins and business impact
Hybrid working model and flexible autonomy
Opportunity to shape a new function in a fast-scaling business
Backed by a major investor — but free from corporate red tape
