Energy Strategy Manager

Job Description

Heathrow's Net Zero Plan will require more electricity in future as we transition from fossil fuels creating a set of strategic choices, risks and opportunities for the business as we increasingly operate the airport on renewable power. Electricity will power our vehicles, heat our buildings and produce hydrogen for aircraft. Heathrow's long-term site-wide energy strategy provides the overall direction for this energy transition covering all aspects of energy, from improving energy efficiency across the airport, decarbonising heating for our buildings, upgrading the airport electricity distribution network and the capacity of our incoming supply, generating and sourcing renewable electricity and enabling the introduction of hydrogen in the future. This is a key role for the business that will work cross-functionally to deliver our energy strategy, acting as a key strategic SME, leading and sponsoring key energy infrastructure and commercial projects, and planning and tracking progress against strategic milestones.
