Bright Renewables

Communities are at the heart of what we do. As the UK’s first community owned asset manager, we
help local people take charge of their renewable energy projects by managing them responsibly
and with care. We have over 77MW of renewable generating capacity under management, including
35 rooftop solar sites (and rising). We specialise in both rooftop and ground mount
community-owned solar systems. 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
  • Growing the UK’s community renewable energy market

Our team is highly collaborative, in and outside the office, working closely together to create
impactful, deliverable solutions. Team lunches, regular socials and other events are just
part of our work culture. We currently have a hybrid working set up and offer full home office
support to the team. We support a flexible working environment; learning and development
opportunities for all employees are 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
renewable energy assets. By coordinating with third-party contractors and lenders, you will
also be ensuring the technical and financial health of the projects.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Acting as the first point of contact for your clients
  • High level monitoring and analysis of your portfolio of renewable energy sites on behalf of
    clients
  • Managing third-party contractors associated with the assets, including contract management,
    performance, and reporting
  • Liaising with third party stakeholders such as landlords (including school trusts,
    councils, farmers and more)
  • Providing support, information and reports to Client Boards of Directors
  • Contributing to team efforts by accomplishing related tasks as needed

You may also have additional opportunities to visit clients and sites, attend and present at
client Annual General Meetings, assist in the interpretation of financial performance and
models, and to support business development initiatives and project financing transactions. You
will also have the chance to provide input in Bright Renewables’ responses to government
consultations, to attend industry meetings and events and to liaise with a wide variety of
organisations across the renewables and community energy sectors.

The successful applicant will be trained in all areas necessary to meet the varied demands of
the role. By the end of this training, you will be confident acting independently as the first
point of contact for your clients and as the day-to-day manager of renewable energy assets and
the companies that own them.
