How many do you need ? • “Rule of thumb” • Maybe 1 Energy Manager for every £5 - £10m of energy spend ?
Skills ? • Highly numerate • Able to manage large budgets • Technical ability • Law – ‘Elf ‘n’ Safety/Contracts/PPA’s • Persuasive • Understanding your colleagues • Communication • Awareness
Skills ? Cont’d • Challenging • Tenacious • Networker • Many more • Depends on organisational structure
Qualifications/Level ? • Working understanding of many subjects • Advanced understanding of science/economics/environmental issues/general management • Level & qualifications mix with experience
Opportunities ? • Massive and diverse • Organisations will have different needs later in programmes than early on • Different, & constantly changing, skills will be needed • Different mixes of management & technical • More understanding of “the bigger picture”
Obstacles ? • Lack of suitable training • Major change of direction • Energy needs to be a mainstream subject
