We are currently recruiting for an Energy Assistant to support the Energy & Sustainability Team to regulate and monitor the energy used in the organisation and by our residents, especially in our large portfolio of heat networks.

It's both a challenging and an exciting time to join our team as our residents continue to feel the effects of the cost of living crisis and we launch Anchor's Environmental Sustainability and Net Zero Carbon strategy.

This role undertakes remote monitoring of communal heating systems and heat networks, managing data and information about energy consumption, energy management and help contributes to carbon reduction activity through looking at how heating systems can be optimised.

Day to day, you'll act upon enquiries from colleagues arising from our utility contracts, monitor metering and billing data to ensure residents receive accurate bills, and support the delivery of a wide range of energy efficiency and sustainability initiatives within Anchor.

We're committed to driving down energy use and carbon emissions to help make residents' homes more comfortable and affordable and to reach net zero by 2050.
