The Position

You will be developing the UK & I Asset Management Grid strategy and leading all client-facing Grid initiatives across our Asset Management portfolio. You will act as a key liaison between support services delivery teams, wider Group functions, and clients.

Your role involves supporting the development and delivery of Grid Services related to operational assets managed by the Global Asset Management Teams, aiming to meet company, client, team, and project objectives. Although primarily supporting our UK Asset Management Team, there will be opportunities to collaborate with other RES regions.

You will work closely with the Asset Management team to ensure our Asset Management portfolio complies with Grid Code requirements. You will report to the Grid Services and Compliance Manager within the Operations Support and Advisory Services Team and collaborate with Asset Managers, the AM Finance Team, RES Control Centre, UKI Energy Networks Team, and Routes to Market Team.

Ancillary Grid Services will be developed by the Routes to Market Team (Commercial) and the Grid Services and Compliance Team (Technical). Post-development, these services will be delivered by the Grid Services and Compliance team and the RES Control Centre. You should understand the commercial aspects of these services at the delivery stage.

This is a strategic role within RES, focusing on developing the Grid Services strategy and increasing standardization and volume of additional Grid-related services for the Asset Management business. You will identify new Grid service opportunities, promote these services to clients, and ensure RES maximizes revenue potential, especially with key accounts.

You will support and influence the strategies of support service business units, working with leadership to develop new Grid-related services for main clients. You will also increase RES's market exposure through client engagement, conferences, and roundtable events, maintaining regular communication with target clients and providing feedback to refine product offerings.

Collaboration with RES Energy Networks Team and Routes to Market Team is essential to share information on Grid Policies and Initiatives.
