* Familiarity with procurement strategies, contract administration, and supply chain management.
* Awareness of retrofit standards and frameworks including PAS 2035, PAS 2030, TrustMark, SAP, and EPC assessments (training can be provided).
* Desirable (Training can be provided if not currently held).
* Level 5 Diploma in Retrofit Coordination and Risk Management.
* Level 3 Award in Energy Efficiency for Older and Traditional Buildings.
* Applicants must have the right to work in the UK as sponsorship is not available for this role.
What’s On Offer
* Permanent, full-time position (35 hours per week).
* Hybrid working (2 days per week in the office).
* Salary range: £45,000 – £55,000 depending on experience.
* 30 days annual leave including public holidays.

* Private health insurance.
* High-spec laptop and specialist training provided.
* A supportive, purpose-led team with real opportunities for progression.
