The Client
Our client are a European C&I BESS company who have now entered the UK market. They are committed to providing clean and affordable energy for all. By using business as a force for good and integrating sustainable goals with smart battery storage solutions, they are transforming Europe’s energy landscape from centralised, fossil-fuel dependence to a local, clean, and dynamic system—one building at a time.
Your Role
As a Grid Manager you will support the project growth, by leveraging your engineering expertise to manage the technical aspects of our BESS and EMS solutions, working alongside the wider team e.g. Sales Managers, Technical Project Manager. There will be a key focus on grid connections management as the UK will present larger C&I and potentially smaller utility-scale project opportunities.
You will be responsible for overseeing the technical design of our projects, working with our HQ design teams. You will adopt a collaborative and hands-on approach throughout the project lifecycle and will manage managing cross-functional relationships internally and externally e.g. customer and EPCs that will be sub-contracted by iwell or the customer.
You’re never afraid to explain technical details to customers, but you don’t need to lead or close sales directly. That’s what you have sales colleagues for!
