and with care. We have over 75MW of renewable generating capacity under management,

specialising in both ground mount and rooftop mounted community-owned solar sites. Our focus is

on putting communities first, whilst still building the business case for community owned

renewable energy projects in the UK:

Building and providing community engagement

Supporting local access to renewable energy projects

impactful, deliverable solutions. Pub lunches, dog friendly days, quarterly socials and other

events are just part of our work culture. We are currently working remotely due to the

coronavirus pandemic and offer full home office support to the team. We encourage a flexible

working environment; learning and development opportunities for all employees is a critical

element of the way we work.

The role

We offer an exciting and impactful role across all areas of our business. As a Client Manager, you will have a close relationship with all your clients and specialise in their
