Energiesprong UK are taking a market transformation approach to make performance-assured retrofits commercially financeable and scalable. To achieve this a number of market conditions will need to be changed so that housing providers can invest and industry is incentivised to innovate. This is the main role and purpose of the Energiesprong Market Development Teams. Energiesprong is focusing on “to create what is needed” instead of focusing on “to do what is possible”. For our MDT team we are recruiting three different roles: Market Maker, Market Maker Supply & Policy and Market Developer Housing.

Location: Flexible (option for home-based working) Role requires some remote-working at partner premises across the UK. Role may require occasional international travel (mainly NL, FR, DE).

‍

This role will largely and primarily be funded through the MUSTBE0 project via the European Union InterregNWE instrument. MUSTBE0 develops a market for affordable, desirable, long-term performance guaranteed net zero energy (NZE) retrofits for apartment buildings.  Work may also be required on other projects.

• Support with stock selection and stock analysis, (with support from others), helping landlords to understand the model and their internal organizational change requirements.
• Fine-tuning and explaining the Energiesprong UK business case for housing providers’ specific requirements (e.g. to align with their investment decision requirements and process);
