Job description
Overview / Responsibilities:
This position will work Monday to Friday but will also be required to cover shifts for annual leave and any other absences across the control room team. This is an Entry level position, where full training can be provided.
Join a culture of innovation, pushing the boundaries of what is possible to seek the best solutions for our clients.
The Role
We are looking for someone who has great IT skills, a good telephone manner, a diligent approach to Health and safety and the ability to keep calm in a safety critical environment. Full training will be provided on the core duties and responsibilities.

To be successful in this role you do not have to have lots of previous experience in a control room setting – although previous renewables experience or knowledge would be an advantage.
