Senior Consultant: Wind resource and energy assessment

We’re excited to be hiring an experienced wind consultant working primarily in the UK and European offshore and onshore wind sector.

This role is more than an analyst position. The successful candidate is expected to help shape and lead Everoze’s offering in the energy analysis space, working with our due diligence and project development consultants as well as our Partner Brightwind. This is an experienced consultant role, but we are willing to consider more junior consultants with exceptional track record and potential.

Salary: Competitive salary dependent on experience, pension scheme, annual profit share and route into company ownership

Location: UK (Bristol, Glasgow, Brighton or Fife office) with hybrid remote working. We’re also interested to hear from candidates based in Dublin and Paris

Hours: Normal office hours with a healthy level of flexibility. Preference for 5 days per week but encourage people who would prefer part-time to apply (minimum 3 days per week)

Deadline for applications: 15th September 2024

Everoze is different

We’re more than just a technical and commercial consultancy, specialising in renewables, storage, green hydrogen and wider energy flexibility. We live our values. We’re passionate about accelerating the transition to a decarbonised energy system. We have no bosses or formal hierarchy. We are free to pursue opportunities that deliver our strategy. We take ownership of our own development and support one another along the way. Our pay is transparent and set by our peers. We, the employees, own the company and we share a portion of our profits equally. We believe that a strong and healthy work life needs a strong and healthy home life. We encourage flexible working practices for all to be there for the kids’ swim lessons, a favourite hobby, or learning new skills.

We’re OK with being different. Everoze isn’t for everyone. But it might just be for you… Find out more here.

• Undertaking site conditions assessments which include elements of the above but also consideration of extreme wind speed, ambient and wake induced turbulence intensity, wind shear, and other meteorological parameters;
