ABOUT US

Bristol City Council’s Energy Supply Team is part of the Council’s Client Function, which oversees the delivery of the ambitious Bristol City Leap partnership, a joint venture between the Council and Ameresco Ltd (www.bristolcityleap.co.uk) to support Bristol in becoming carbon neutral by 2030.
The Energy Supply team manages the supply of electricity, gas, water, and heat to Council buildings – everything from offices and libraries to schools and housing blocks. We also support the management of the Council’s own renewable energy assets, including our wind turbines, solar farm, and biomass systems.
We are now looking for an organised and proactive person to join our friendly and forward-thinking team within the Council, helping to deliver one of Bristol’s most ambitious climate programmes.

WHAT DO I NEED TO HAVE?

You don’t need to be an expert in energy to apply. If you’re organised, proactive, and keen to support Bristol’s climate goals, we’d love to hear from you.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is confident working with numbers and data
• Can communicate clearly and professionally, both in writing and face-to-face
• Is organised, thorough, and pays close attention to detail

It would be useful (but not essential) if you also have:

• Any experience organising meetings and taking notes
• Some familiarity with collecting, analysing, and presenting data
• Any experience in working with suppliers, contractors, or customers

You should be comfortable using standard office software such as Word, Excel, Outlook, and email. Full training will be provided on our internal IT systems.
Some tasks will involve visiting Council sites and accessing areas such as plant or meter rooms, so you’ll need to be comfortable working in enclosed spaces and happy to travel across the city. A driving licence is not essential but could be helpful.

• Providing admin support to the Head of Service – managing calendars, arranging meetings, and helping the team stay organised
• Helping manage the Council’s energy supplies – including checking utility bills, liaising with suppliers and commercial customers, and processing invoices
• Keeping records and databases up to date with accurate and timely information
• Visiting Council sites across Bristol to collect meter readings
• Supporting the City Leap programme – helping prepare reports and maintain project documentation
• Responding to queries from internal teams and external stakeholder
