Who You Are
n
n
You've worked inside a network or close enough to one that you have lived experience - and know what matters to the humans within them. You've seen this journey from the customer's perspective - data-led grid visibility, LV/MV operation, planning, DER integration, flexibility and connections - and you can hold your own in a room with a network planner who's been doing it for twenty years.
n
You can sell without being a salesperson. You're the person whose technical clarity and intellectual honesty unlocks a deal, because you seek to understand and build trust, not pitch.
n
You own outcomes, not recommendations. Plenty of people can write a report. You're energised by doing the work that brings the outcome to life.
n
You translate in both directions. You turn a customer's operational problem into a roadmap input engineering can build against, and a platform capability into something a network planner will use.
n
Low ego, high ownership, relentless curiosity, bias for impact.



You embody the traits we hire for in every role.
n
Genuinely drawn to the mission. You want the networks you work with to be the reason the energy transition lands faster.
