Origination Manager (Contract - 3 Months)

Role Summary:

Due to the continuous growth of our business, Transmission Investment is looking to recruit a contract Origination Manager for a 3-month to join the team responsible for driving Transmission Investment’s origination efforts across multiple electricity infrastructure sectors including competitively procured brownfield offshore wind transmission assets (known as “OFTOs”, competitively procured onshore transmission projects under a new regime (known as “CATOs”), and securing revenue contracts for grid stability assets (such as synchronous compensators) which underpin the investment case of those assets. The Origination Manager will initially assist with lead TI’s late-stage development grid stability projects with a focus on securing revenue contracts such as those available via NESO’s LT29 long-term tender process.

This role may also support the broader origination function of Transmission Investment and get exposure to development, delivery and operations activities relating to our assets alongside investment case and financing. Subject to personal ambition and business needs, this role may subsequently lead or support CATO projects, OFTO bid processes and other bid processes which may arise and are important to Transmission Investment’s strategic objectives.

The role will be based in our head office in the City of London or in Glasgow, with only occasional travel within the UK necessary. Transmission Investment also has a flexible working policy.

The role will report to the Origination Director.
