Summary
Job Advert
Energy and Sustainability Officer
Full Time
52 weeks per year
£26,000 per annum
To work with and provide support duties to the Woodard Head of Procurement on a procurement led project to reduce energy demand
and improve sustainability as part of the Woodard schools journey towards Net Zero Carbon.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone interested in developing a career in an interesting and diverse multi-site
environment and would like to contribute to the success of Woodard schools.
The initial focus will be at Denstone College where the role will be instrumental in the development of a sustainability strategy
encompassing all aspects of the school’s operations. Key areas within the strategy will be energy demand management where
documentation, methodologies, systems and targets are already being implemented across other estates by the Woodard Head of
Procurement. Waste management and other 3rd party services together with a broader consideration of potential pupil / staff lead
initiatives where an impact on sustainability improvement can be measured shall also be in scope.
The project will require strong communication and interpersonal skills to develop relationships with finance, estates, compliance
and other departments to gain insight into the estate and its operations. It is expected that occasional engagement with pupil
groups will be required to support their own sustainability initiatives together with updates / progress reporting for senior
leadership / governors.
The role beyond that of Denstone College will support the Woodard Head of Procurement in the work he is undertaking to implement
an energy demand management system across the school group, this is to measure energy consumption across each estate in support of
identification of energy efficiency opportunities through improvement of fabric and controls and measurement of the associated
return on investment from reduction in energy demand and carbon emissions.
The role will suit a candidate who is detail orientated, organised, able to prioritise tasks to meet deadlines, enjoys research
and is willing to learn and develop themselves to become a credible source of knowledge on sustainability and Net Zero Carbon. The
candidate must be able to pro-actively gather information from various sources, have strong data analysis skills and be able to
create cost models to identify value for money in terms of investment vs reduction in energy demand / carbon emissions.
It is envisaged that the successful candidate will work towards appropriate professional qualifications in procurement and/or
energy management. Support will be given for study.
Denstone College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all our staff to
share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS and pre-employment checks.
