At CEE, we develop practical energy solutions that tackle real challenges for communities in the UK and internationally. Our work ranges from developing mobile solar battery systems that bring affordable energy access to rural and off-grid communities, to testing technologies that can maintain power for medically vulnerable people during outages, and developing digital tools that help communities achieve their net zero ambitions.

As our Energy Systems Specialist, you’ll bring your technical expertise to projects with tangible social and environmental impact. You’ll work across the design, development and delivery of innovative energy systems, helping us ensure that the transition to clean energy is both effective and equitable.

What you will be doing

• Support the design, specification and implementation of solar PV, battery-storage and decentralised energy systems appropriate to different community and productive-use applications.
• Undertake technical assessments, system sizing, energy-demand analysis and techno-economic modelling to inform project design and investment decisions.
• Develop and review technical specifications, bills of materials, equipment requirements and other technical documentation.
• Support the procurement and evaluation of energy-system components and equipment, working with suppliers, technology providers and local delivery partners.
• Provide technical oversight and support during system installation, testing and commissioning, including working with local EPCs and other contractors.
• Support the integration of energy technologies and productive-use applications, which may include electric mobility, battery-swapping systems and other emerging technologies.
• Analyse technical and operational data to assess system performance, identify issues and support continuous improvement.
• Work with colleagues and project partners to develop sustainable operational and business models for decentralised energy systems.
• Provide technical input into project plans, feasibility studies, reports, funding applications and bids.
• Work collaboratively with international partners, local technical teams, communities and other stakeholders to ensure solutions are appropriate to the local operating environment.
• Contribute to capacity building and knowledge transfer with project partners and local organisations.
• Represent Centre for Energy Equality in technical project meetings and, where required, during international project visits.
• Work closely with CEE’s Software, Analysis, Product Development and Project Management teams.
