Scene Connect ("Scene") is a leading renewable energy consultancy in the community and local energy sectors. We are looking for an Office Administrator to join our team – supporting the directors and helping the rest of the team to work as effectively as possible. We’re looking for a candidate who buys-in to what we stand for, both in terms of our mission and our collaborative approach to team working. However, don’t let lack of specific renewable energy knowledge dissuade you from putting your hat in the ring.
Our work encompasses rural wind turbines to urban heat networks and we are passionate about maximising the local benefits which come from distributed energy, be that income from ownership to deliver wider community projects, or the provision of energy to enable clean water or education. Check out our projects to see what we have done since we started in Edinburgh in 2011.
We are a small, but steadily growing business - we currently have 9 staff across our Edinburgh and London offices. We also have a small office in Odisha (India). We work across the UK, and are part of international projects in India, Tanzania, Rwanda, Nepal and Brazil.
