You’ll work across teams, solve real-world operational challenges, and help shape the systems, processes, and culture that will support their next stage of growth.

Performance and reliability of live systems – making sure customers get what they promise
-
Billing, metering accuracy, and revenue assurance
-
O&M partner performance and customer support experience
-
Building scalable processes, SOPs, and operational tools (including Odoo and other systems)
-
Leading and growing a high-performing operations team
-
Working closely with engineering, EPC, commercial teams, and external partners to keep projects moving fast and smoothly
What you bring
-
Strong operational leadership in energy, utilities, heating, or infrastructure
-
Comfort working in fast-moving, evolving environments
-
Ability to move between strategy and hands-on problem solving
-
Data-driven mindset and strong ownership mentality
-
Excellent stakeholder and team leadership skills
