- project management and integration of the Ørsted UK & Ireland's biodiversity strategy into our renewable energy portfolio
- coordinating responses to key consultations and ensuring the wider UK & Ireland team is aware of future policy implications.

  • are organised, a good listener, and can create and maintain excellent relationships with internal and external stakeholders
- have a desire to develop skills and knowledge in the key environmental issues associated with renewable energy projects
