  • Create board-level customer narratives that link energy cost, carbon reduction, resilience, risk, operational performance and commercial return.
  • Lead opportunities from early engagement through qualification, solution development, commercial approval, bid submission, negotiation and contract award.
  • Apply strong bid/no-bid and qualification discipline, testing customer need, funding route, decision process, delivery risk, margin potential and likelihood of close.
  • Work closely with technical, commercial, finance, legal, procurement, bid management, delivery and operations teams to develop deliverable and profitable solutions.
  • Support commercial structuring including capex, funded solutions, PPA-style models, savings-led propositions, contract terms, margin assumptions and risk allocation.
