Backed by I Squared Capital, a global specialist infrastructure investment manager, the business is expanding rapidly across the UK's commercial and residential energy markets.
We work across some of the UK's most exciting infrastructure sectors, including renewable energy, battery storage, EV infrastructure, data centres and major commercial developments. Thanks to an innovative, bespoke and agile business model, Aurora is helping to deliver the electricity networks needed to support a changing and increasingly electrified energy landscape.
A key part of this approach has been the development of a dedicated, innovative in-house legal team, providing the business with comprehensive legal and regulatory expertise and helping to develop practical solutions to the challenges of a rapidly evolving sector.

Aurora was created to provide faster, innovative and flexible solutions to the UK's evolving electricity infrastructure requirements. The work we do sits at an important intersection of infrastructure, energy and commercial development. Put simply, we play an important role in supporting the UK's future economic growth and development.
You’ll be joining a genuinely business-facing team, providing practical advice and solutions that have a direct impact on how Aurora operates and grows.
