THE ORGANISATION
RenewableUK is the UK’s leading renewable energy trade association,
specialising in onshore wind, offshore wind and wave and tidal energy.
Formed in 1978, we have an established, large corporate membership
ranging from small independent companies, to large international
corporations and manufacturers.
Acting as a central point of information and a united representative
voice for our membership, we conduct research; find solutions, organise
events, facilitate business development, advocate and promote wind and
marine renewables to government, industry, the media and the public.
THE ROLE
Got an eye for a good story?
The primary purpose of this role is to coordinate a workstream
to identify and promote the local benefits arising from onshore wind
electricity generation. Primarily this will be achieved by tracking
construction activity across UK wind farms and identifying interesting
and engaging stories which may be of interest to the media, politicians
and the public. You will also support member companies and the wider
supply chain to maximise media and political engagement opportunities
arising from individual construction projects.
THE PERSON
With experience of managing a project which you kept on track
and delivered on time, you will have excellent communication skills,
political sensitivity and the ability to identify what would make a good
story. Key to your success in this role will be your ability to
establish rapport primarily over the phone with individuals in member
companies and develop good working relationships.
This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate or
someone seeking to establish a career in communications, public affairs
or policy. You will receive on the job training and support from our
policy and external affairs staff and join our committed and close-knit
friendly team. Knowledge of the renewable sector is not essential;
although this role provides a fantastic opportunity to learn more about
this industry and meet many of the key players in it.
Interview/Start Dates: Interviews are likely to take place on Friday 18th July for an immediate start.
How to apply: To apply for this position, please review the job description www.renewableuk.com/en/about-renewableuk/work-for-renewableuk/index.cfm
