Energy Manager

Energy Manager - Operations & Insights | London

Sustii is recruiting an Energy Operations & Insight Manager on behalf of a major London-based higher education institution, to lead the optimisation of energy assets and building management systems across a large, multi-site estate.

This role sits within the Energy Transition function working towards a 2040 net zero carbon target, and it's a genuinely data-driven role, not just an operational one. You'll be the person turning raw energy data into the insight that actually shapes investment and procurement decisions.

What you'll be doing:

You'll take ownership of the day-to-day operation and optimisation of energy assets driving continuous improvement through monitoring, targeting and system optimisation. You'll manage local control and BMS strategy to proactively manage demand, build out an energy management plan and analytics plan for the estate, and oversee third-party analytics partners and contracts.

On the insight side, you'll analyse estate-wide energy data to spot reduction opportunities, flag performance exceptions, and manage drifts, then translate that into clear, prioritised investment recommendations. You'll provide measurement and verification support for energy and carbon projects, produce volume forecasts and emissions data for statutory reporting, and work with a third party to build and own dashboards turning operational data into actionable insights.

You'll also be the go-to subject matter expert for energy operations and analytics, advising staff and academic teams on good energy practice, working closely with critical infrastructure, net zero and energy efficiency teams, and representing the organisation in sector forums.

What we're looking for:

• A degree in a relevant field (engineering,science) or equivalent professional experience
• Solid experience of energy management in a multi-site, complex environment
• A strong track record analysing energy data to produce meaningful, decision-ready insight, plus experience producing energy forecasts
• A demonstrable track record delivering cost savings, efficiency improvements and carbon reduction initiatives
• Comfort working with large, complex datasets, able to draw clear conclusions and present them concisely
• Familiarity with energy data platforms, performance analytics and digital optimisation tools
• Strong negotiation and stakeholder skills, able to influence and build relationships across a large, complex organisation
• IPMVP qualification or measurement & verification experience, and higher education sector experience, both a plus

This is a strong move for someone who wants real influence over how a major estate manages energy, with data and insight genuinely driving the decisions, not just reporting on them after the fact.

We are committed to equality of opportunity and to building diverse, inclusive teams. We actively encourage applications from all suitably qualified candidates, regardless of age, disability, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, gender reassignment, sex, or sexual orientation.
