Responsibilities

Off the back of continued success and expansion, our client is seeking an experienced Energy Services & Asset Manager to lead and oversee their Solar O&M, heating service, and PPA assets, ensuring high-quality service delivery, strong asset performance, and commercial growth. The role bridges technical operations, subcontracted delivery, client management, asset performance, and strategic expansion across Ireland and the UK.

You will oversee solar PV O&M, EPC troubleshooting, and heating installation and maintenance, ensuring service quality and operational efficiency in line with client requirements. Analysing performance data from PPA and client-owned solar assets, you will identify underperformance and optimisation opportunities, produce clear, client-friendly performance reports, and track all company assets.

As the primary contact for key clients, you will lead pricing, proposals, and contract negotiations, drive service revenue, identify new opportunities, and track timely invoicing including internal departmental charges.

Strong knowledge of solar PV O&M, heating systems, asset performance management, and service delivery is essential, as is experience managing client relationships, commercial contracts, pricing, and proposals.
