- Establish and execute clear technical roadmaps, including digital metering and project implementation roadmaps.
- Propose, coordinate, and lead Energy and Water saving initiatives, from initial feasibility studies, energy audits, and cost‑benefit analyses through to implementation.
- Design and oversee the installation of energy‑efficient technologies and renewable energy systems (e.g., solar PV, industrial heat pumps).
- Monitor and verify efficiency targets at the delivery/commissioning stage.
- Actively manage Energy Performance Contract (EPC) execution, driving accountability and performance with suppliers and contractors.
- Identify and evaluate engineering opportunities for energy and resource savings, focusing on the optimisation of HVAC systems, lighting, compressed air, water and building management systems (BMS).
