ABOUT ZENOBĒ

Our goal is to make clean power accessible, to accelerate the shift to zero carbon power and transport.

We’re building and operating the world’s most sophisticated battery systems to enable the uptake of more renewable power and accelerating fleet electrification, de-risking the transition to zero-emission transport at scale. We’ve been consistently innovative since we were founded in 2017, achieving major industry firsts and using proprietary software and data analysis to optimise operational performance for our customers. At the end of their life, we repurpose electric vehicle batteries to provide clean power at depots, on construction sites and film sets.

Today we have 430 MW of grid scale battery storage operational and under construction and are the largest owner and operator of EV buses in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, supporting over 1,000 electric vehicles worldwide. In our first five years we have raised nearly £1.8 billion in funding and have expanded into other markets such as the US. Our rapidly growing company is looking for highly talented and motivated people to join us.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are hiring for a talented Analyst focusing on Energy Systems to join our Network Infrastructure unit within the broader Commercial Analytics group. The candidate will be part of a new unit aimed at providing data-driven insights to seize business opportunities in large-scale BESS projects and extract the best possible value from Zenobē’s assets.

The Network Infrastructure Analytics unit supports the company’s business development team by building in-house knowledge and modelling capability of BESS systems. The role will involve creating bespoke numerical solutions to inform business decisions, benchmark the performance of Zenobē’s assets and gain leading market insights to seize future opportunities.

The successful candidate will work closely with the Modelling and Revenue Optimisation teams, ensuring insights are shared between different parts of the Commercial Analytics business.

This is a great opportunity for a candidate looking to build on existing analytical and programming skills, whilst also developing a deep knowledge of electricity markets and BESS technology from Zenobē’s unique standpoint of experienced large-scale BESS operator and developer.

A TASTE OF THE DAY TO DAY

• Contribute to developing new models to simulate the operation and energy trading of BESS projects, both in the UK and new markets.
• Improve existing models (e.g., introducing new revenue streams and market structures to existing trading models).
• Analyse third-party market data and build bespoke solutions to extract insights driving business decisions.
• Engage with third-party consultants to improve in-house market and technology understanding, both for the UK and new markets (such as the US, Australia and more).
• Produce and develop data visualisation suites, user interfaces and other tools for the effective communication of the analysis results to a non-technical audience.
• Adhere to software development good practices and produce high quality documentation of the models built and the analysis produced.
