Equal Opportunities

At Transport for Wales we value diversity. It makes us stronger, helps us understand our customers better, make better decisions and be more innovative. Everyone's different and has their own perspective so we're building a diverse team that mirrors the communities we serve. Through this we're determined to be one of Wales' leading inclusive employers. We're creating an inclusive transport network that everyone in Wales can be proud of.

Who we are

At Transport for Wales, we're on a mission to transform transport in Wales and make it fit for the future, whether that's rail, bus, walking or cycling. We want to inspire a nation to change the way it travels, so that we all travel more sustainably and help to combat the climate emergency we're all facing. We're an open and inclusive place to work, where everyone is welcome and our people are supported to reach their full potential. We want to create an environment where our people can grow and succeed. This is key to enabling us to deliver on the promises we've made to the people of Wales to build a sustainable transport network that meets their needs.

Role responsibilities

• This role will focus on supporting the Climate Change Team with administrative support and monitoring of Transport for Wales (TfW)'s energy and utilities usage across our owned assets included stations, offices and depots.
• The role will require data collection and analysis and an understanding of how effective energy and carbon management can contribute to TfW's objectives.
• Support the organisation in its management of utilities contracts with both suppliers and landowners (e.g. Network Rail) by engaging in regular meetings, responding to queries and completing necessary paperwork to enable business continuity and meet contractual obligations.
• Supporting utilities arrangements for new or refurbished buildings before they are handed over to tenants or other third parties by engaging with relevant stakeholders and arranging meter installations to enable accurate third party billing and reporting.
• Arranging and supporting energy and climate change audits across the transport network to help identify opportunities for improved energy efficiency, climate resilience and carbon reduction and review and assess emerging new technologies to enable TfW to adopt innovative measures to adapt and mitigate against climate change.
• Support the Energy and Carbon Reduction Lead to identify opportunities to upgrade equipment, commissions and manage new equipment and management solutions and calculate the resultant energy saving and carbon savings and overall project or initiative paybacks to enable TfW to demonstrate and improve energy efficiency across the network and reduce carbon emissions.

Who we're looking for

• Experience of monitoring, analysis and reporting of energy use and carbon data and the software available to do this.
• Experience and knowledge of energy management including low carbon and renewable technologies and sub-metering systems.
• Experience of organising energy efficiency assessments/audits.
• Administrative experience to support working groups.
• Excellent communication and technical report writing skills.
