Company Description

Statkraft is Europe’s largest renewable energy generator. We’ve been making clean energy possible for over a century and are proud to take a central role in the UK’s zero carbon ambitions. We have 7000 employees in 20 countries. We have been making clean energy possible for over 130 years, with unrivalled expertise in supplying the world with what it needs most. We envision a world that runs entirely on renewable energy.

Because in the fight against climate change, we do not see renewable energy as part of the solution – we believe it must be the solution.

We’re looking for a standout Events Manager to join our UK Communications team.

Job Description

This role is ideally based in the London area, joining a team who focuses on raising the profile of Statkraft via external channels, media and marketing, whilst sharing our successes and building our culture via our internal channels.

Take your career to the next level at Statkraft and make a positive impact on our planet, as we utilise the potential of renewable energy.
