• You’ll need to demonstrate strong analytical skills and the ability to navigate complex regulatory and commercial issues.
• Confidence in working with clients and contributing to discussions is important, as this role offers real visibility and involvement.
• A genuine interest in the energy sector — particularly renewables and sustainability — will set you apart.

The salary and benefits package is highly competitive within the Belfast market, with clear and achievable progression pathways.
