  • Generation & Renewables – including onshore and offshore wind, solar, energy storage and generation assets.

  • Bring together the right technical experts to develop winning, evidence-based solutions for clients.
  • Support the development of clear win themes that align with client priorities and project requirements.

Growing Market Intelligence and Pipeline

  • Monitor policy, regulatory and industry developments across the energy sector.
  • Identify forthcoming frameworks, programmes and major projects before procurement begins.
  • Share market intelligence, competitor activity and client insights across the wider business.

Connecting Expertise Across WSP

  • Bring together specialists from ecology, ornithology, marine and aquatic sciences, arboriculture and related disciplines to create integrated client solutions.
  • Collaborate across WSP's energy, planning, engineering and environmental teams to maximise opportunities and deliver joined-up services.

What We're Looking For

You'll be a commercially minded leader with a strong understanding of the energy sector and a proven ability to develop client relationships and grow business opportunities.

You'll bring:

  • Knowledge of energy development, renewable energy projects and/or electricity network infrastructure.
  • Experience developing business strategies, sector plans or growth initiatives.
  • Strong client engagement, business development and stakeholder management skills.
  • Bid leadership experience, ideally on complex or multidisciplinary projects.
