• Undertaking tariff, volume consumption and tolerance checks to confirm invoice charges are appropriate, accurate and in accordance with agreed terms.
• Where utilities invoices have not been received, use industry best practice to produce monthly accrual reports and work with Finance to manage and unwind legacy accruals.
• Measuring energy and water consumption, using performance indicators, and share with the wider business to help drive behaviour change and awareness.
• Identify, understand and record drivers for performance and opportunities for energy reduction to include supply chain decision-making, building and building services design, learnings from behaviour change activities and decarbonisation of scope 1 emissions.
• Working with Engineering, Property and Operations, to drive operational efficiencies, and best practice energy management.
