Overview
We are looking for a Senior Energy Systems Engineer to take technical ownership of grid-connected energy storage systems across the UK & Ireland. This is a hands-on, senior technical role focused on commissioning support, system performance, fault diagnosis, and lifecycle reliability rather than people management. You’ll work closely with service, operations, and commercial teams, acting as a trusted technical advisor and ensuring energy storage assets are safe, compliant, and performing as intended.

* Experience with grid-connected assets (renewables, power generation, BESS, CHP, EV infrastructure, or similar)
* Comfortable working in site-based, operational environments
* Strong problem-solving and stakeholder communication skills
* Looking for technical depth and ownership without a heavy management remit
What’s On Offer
* Competitive salary and benefits package
* A clearly defined step-up pathway into technical management for those applicants who are ready to broaden their scope and influence
* Ongoing support, mentoring, and professional development
* Exposure to large-scale, complex energy infrastructure projects
* Hybrid working with meaningful site and project involvement
* Long-term progression into senior technical or engineering leadership roles
