Role Overview
We have a great opportunity for an experienced individual to join Savills’ Energy Team, based in either our London, Perth or Edinburgh offices. This role offers the chance to advise clients across the UK on a broad spectrum of energy and infrastructure technologies, including onshore wind, solar PV and energy storage.
This is a varied and dynamic position, encompassing a wide range of responsibilities. You will be involved in strategic site identification and evaluation, considering key factors such as land, planning and grid connectivity.
