Job description

Sustainable Energy is going to be the biggest thing over the next 10 years, especially with this government’s energy agenda.On that agenda, there will be a long list of methodologies From Nuclear, to Solar, to wind turbines, that will be used in the UK to achieve that agenda.There is a lot to talk about here, and how this role fits into all that.I am working with an investment company that has acquired a Small Wind Turbine business, where they have pretty much everything going on but a Captain at the helm.As I said, everything is in place or on track to be in place over the next few months.
