The postholder will contribute to the development and execution of INOVYN’s electricity procurement strategy and maximise revenues by identifying and implementing new (energy-related) opportunities.

Procurement of competitive electricity supplies is therefore essential to the performance of the business.

- Understand and assess emerging energy and environmental legislation and develop strategies and plans to minimise costs or maximise opportunities through advocacy or legal avoidance.
- Negotiate key energy contracts.
- Identify, assess and implement new sources of revenue associated with energy and electricity.
Qualifications and Experience:
- Engineering, science or business degree with a minimum 5 years’ experience in a commercial or techno-commercial role.
- Proven energy related knowledge/experience, e.g. energy markets, energy and environmental regulation, energy procurement, energy technologies (preferred).
- Able to assemble and analyse fundamental commodity data, macroeconomic forecasts and policy information to produce short, medium and long-term electricity price forecasts.
