Renewable Energy jobs in United Kingdom

Eco2 Management Services Ltd (EMSL) is looking for an individual to join our Fuel team at the Sleaford Renewable Energy Plant. This key role is responsible for securing a reliable, cost-effective supply of straw and other agricultural materials to support plant performance.

We are interested in hearing from a range of candidates – from experienced fuel or supply chain professionals through to those with a strong agricultural background and good administration skills who are ready to grow into the role with support and training.

Trust: We trust each other and earn the trust of our clients. We are a safe pair of hands.
Teamwork: We are there for one another and we work in partnership with our clients.
Responsibility: We take ownership of tasks and challenges to find the right timely solution.
Quality: We embrace robust systems and procedures to ensure a high quality, consistent service.
Creativity: We adopt a developer’s zeal, always seeking creative solutions that add value.

We believe in creating a flexible and supportive work environment. This role is primarily based at Sleaford with some flexibility for remote working and regular site visits to suppliers and strategic storage locations across the local farming area.

The salary range for this role is £25–35k per annum (full time), depending on skills and experience. We offer 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, and the benefits package includes company pension, life insurance, private healthcare and dental, access to our health and wellbeing app, eye care and a contribution to your gym membership.

As a member of our Fuel Team, you will be responsible for sourcing, procuring and managing the fuel supply for the Sleaford plant, ensuring a seamless, year-round fuel supply that meets both quality and cost requirements. The exact level of responsibility will reflect your experience, but core activities include:

• Sourcing and negotiating with fuel suppliers to secure advantageous terms and consistent fuel quality.
• Building and maintaining long‑term relationships with local suppliers and the plant’s operations team.
• Contributing to the delivery of the Annual Fuel Plan.
• Planning and managing delivery schedules and maintaining accurate records in the Fuel Tracker system.
• Regularly visiting supplier sites and strategic storage locations to monitor stock levels and quality.
• Preparing regular reports on fuel status and future plans, and supporting ad hoc reporting as needed.

For more experienced candidates, you will quickly take ownership for procurement, planning and contract management. For developing candidates, training and support will be provided to build you up to this level over time.

We’re open to applications from two broad profiles: experienced fuel / supply chain professionals and people with strong agricultural experience looking for a development opportunity.

You will:

• Have experience working within an agricultural or rural environment.
• Bring proven experience in procurement or supply chain management, ideally within agriculture, renewable energy or a related field.
• Be confident negotiating and managing long‑term supplier relationships.
• Be comfortable using stock or inventory management systems (or similar tools).

You will:

• Have hands‑on agricultural experience (e.g. farming, straw or forage supply, grain storage, contracting or similar).
• Be confident with administration, planning and spreadsheets.
• Be keen to build skills in procurement, contract management and supply chain, with training and support.

• Be highly organised with strong attention to detail and able to adapt to changing requirements.
• Be a confident user of Microsoft Office (especially Excel), and collaboration tools such as Teams and SharePoint.
• Communicate well and build effective working relationships across different teams.
• Have some experience or appreciation of working in a safety‑first environment.
• Have access to a vehicle and be willing to travel to local supplier and storage locations as required.
