Energy Manager Location: Hampshire (Hybrid Working) Contract: Initial 6 Months Rate: £600 per day IR35: Inside IR35 Energy costs remain one of the biggest financial pressures facing local authorities. At the same time, councils are expected to reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency across ageing estates, and deliver against ambitious net zero commitments all while managing tight budgets. This role exists to bring those priorities together. Our client is looking for an experienced Energy Manager who can lead their corporate energy strategy, identify opportunities to reduce consumption and costs, and deliver projects that have a lasting impact across the Council's property portfolio. This isn't just about monitoring utility bills. It's about influencing investment decisions, delivering energy projects, securing funding, and helping shape how the Council manages its energy infrastructure for the future. What You'll Actually Be Doing You'll be responsible for the Council's energy management programme, leading initiatives that improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and support long-term sustainability across a diverse property estate. Your time will be split between analysing energy performance, identifying investment opportunities, commissioning energy surveys, and developing business cases for improvement projects. You'll work closely with Property Services, Procurement, Finance, Climate Change, and Asset Management teams to ensure energy efficiency is embedded into capital programmes and asset investment decisions. A significant part of the role will involve delivering projects funded through programmes such as Salix, managing revolving funding mechanisms, and ensuring schemes deliver measurable financial and environmental benefits. You'll also oversee energy procurement, working alongside procurement teams and utility providers to secure value-for-money contracts while maintaining resilience of supply. Beyond day-to-day delivery, you'll represent the Council across regional and national partnerships, working with organisations such as the Carbon Trust, Energy Saving Trust, consultants, and commercial partners to explore new technologies, renewable energy opportunities, district heating schemes, and future Energy Services Company (ESCO) initiatives. Your work will influence millions of pounds of future investment, helping the Council reduce operational costs, strengthen energy resilience, and move closer towards its climate change and net zero commitments. The decisions you make won't just affect buildings they'll help shape the Council's long-term approach to energy management. Interested? If you've been leading energy management, decarbonisation, or sustainability programmes and are looking for an interim assignment where you can genuinely influence strategy and delivery, I'd be happy to arrange a confidential conversation. And if this particular opportunity isn't quite the right fit, it's still worth getting in touch. Panoramic Associates supports Local Authorities and Housing Providers across the UK with interim and permanent appointments in Sustainability, Energy Management, Asset Management, Building Safety, and Property Services.
