We're on a mission to make a big green dent in the universe by building a truly sustainable energy system globally.

We put customers at the heart of everything we do: with always-fair prices, transparency and outrageous customer service.

We drive system change: with transformative tech to make renewable energy the norm and end global reliance on fossil fuels.

This role will be working as part of the Collective where we’re bringing people together to fight climate change by creating an abundance of clean, green electrons to supply the future generation with zero emission electricity.

For decades, energy projects like wind and solar have been full of friction, owned by corporate organisations and pushed into communities who, because they saw little benefit, did not want them.

The Collective brings a new wave of renewable energy projects where sites have been identified by our customers, can be owned by everyone (institutions AND people) and where people who live locally receive cheaper electricity when the wind blows or the sun shines.

Together we’ll shake up the world of renewable energy generation.
