PFI Energy & Environment Manager

We have a fantastic opportunity for a PFI Energy & Environment Manager to join our team based anywhere in England. The salary on offer is from £49,000 - £55,000 (London) or £43,000 - £48,000 (Regionally) with a £3,000 Car Allowance & 10% Bonus.

Main purpose / scope of the role 

The NHS Property Services estate contains almost 3,000 properties, with 30+ of these properties under PFI contracts. These contracts will contain KPIs and SLAs that the stakeholders will be required to adhere to and produce reporting information to show progress against these targets. 

The PFI Commercial Manager currently oversees many of the contracts, but, along with support from the Energy & Environment team, needs extra resource to manage all the aspects of the PFI contract to ensure all the stakeholders are meeting their requirements and we can commit to the ambition of the NHS to be net-zero carbon by 2040.  

This role will require the successful candidate to oversee the contractual obligations of all the PFI stakeholders, with specific reference to the Energy and Environmental clauses and obligations. The role will also require, where it is our contractual requirement to do so, the identification and implementation of energy saving initiatives and environmental compliance activities at the properties.

• Work with the NHSPS Energy & Environment team and PFI Stakeholders to identify and implement Net Zero carbon initiatives and environmental improvement initiatives (Biodiversity and climate adaptation, as well as compliance). 
• Ensure reporting is produced as per the contract requirements and provided to all relevant stakeholders. Such as, energy performance reporting, energy/carbon reduction reporting, environmental incident reporting and investigation. 
• Clarify the requirements under the PFI contract and how this affects NHSPS and other stakeholders – e.g. Replacement of end-of-life equipment. 
• Ensuring processes are in place for the identification and implementation of applicable legislation. 
• Ensure environmental permitting requirements are adhered to where applicable

• Aligning adaptation policy and ensuring strategies are implemented. 
• Ensure contractors have environmentally sound policies in place (e.g. 14001, 50001 or Net Zero Carbon). 
• Ensure Energy and Environmental training is undertaken. 
• Initiate and/or participate in initiatives, such as, for example – energy reduction activities, improving Biodiversity, assessing climate adaptation suitability.
