We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health, and wellbeing, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health. These challenges need the bold science we support, but they won't be solved by science alone.

As Environmental & Energy Manager, you will:

1. Develop and implement practical initiatives to reduce Wellcome's direct environmental impacts, with a focus on the day-to-day impact of our buildings (energy, water, waste).
2. Work closely with the Mechanical & Electrical Services team and Maintenance contractor to ensure energy and water efficiency is embedded in the maintenance and operations of plants and the design of engineering projects.
3. Work with the Wellcome Collection to develop and implement practical environmental initiatives for the operations of the museum and the care of our Collections on site.
4. Conduct analysis of buildings energy consumption, investigate and identify energy saving opportunities, and research and review technological solutions to address them.
5. Support the procurement and management of utility contracts (energy and water).
6. Contribute to a diverse and inclusive culture across the organisation, collaborating across departments.
