Concept has exciting growth plans for 2026, and we’re looking for people who can help us to explore different opportunities in the energy and decarbonisation space.

We’d welcome a chat with talented people who share our passion for solving clients’ energy and net zero challenges. We would be willing to create a role for the right person – that’s why there’s no job description! If that’s you, get in touch.

• Full time (flexible hours)
• Hybrid (min. 2 days in our Basingstoke office)

Join our Energy Bureau team, where you’ll play a key role in helping major UK organisations reduce energy waste, cut costs, and move closer to their net-zero ambitions.  

Our client base is growing, and we’re looking for one or more talented and driven energy analysts to help us deliver high-quality services across energy, water and emissions reporting.

About our Energy Bureau

Robust data management is at the heart of what we do – and we consider our Energy Bureau to be the backbone of Concept.

We work with an interesting, diverse and prestigious client base across the public and private sector, plus well-known facilities management companies as outsourced support.

What we do:

• Complete utility invoice management – from large single-site companies, through to multi-site organisations with hundreds or thousands of sites. We use industry-leading software too, but the role of our experts is crucial in managing the process and achieving great outcomes, especially where utility costs represent a huge proportion of site expenditure.
• Performance reporting – covering energy and water consumption/costs, and turning data into insight for net zero and ESG reports.
• Data analysis – our Bureau team work closely with our consultants, supporting them with data cleansing/management and analysis, and guiding strategic decisions on major decarbonisation projects.

Key Responsibilities

Core responsibilities for all analysts include:

• Invoice validation on all utilities, from single-site to multi-location portfolios
• Liaison with utilities suppliers to secure refunds and credits where overcharges are identified
• Data collection, database management and analysis for external and internal clients
• Performance reporting – structure and content of output to meet client KPIs/requirements

Concept is known for setting very high standards in the delivery of services. You’ll be responsible for delivering high-quality outputs within agreed timescales and maintaining excellent communication with clients and suppliers.

Required Skills and Experience

The following skills and experience are considered essential to the role:

• A high degree of numeracy and literacy
• 2-3+ years’ direct experience in bureau services, including the use of software packages for data management and invoice validation and with a sound understanding of the UK energy and water industries
• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage priorities, working to deadlines and budgets
• Good communication skills – able to work with clients at all levels; able to manage relationships successfully with suppliers when pursuing refunds and credits for billing errors
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office products (Excel, Word, Powerpoint, Power BI)
• Experience with at least one other energy management software package
• Familiarity with business finance and the required financial data reporting arising from utility invoice management

A degree (or equivalent experience) in a relevant discipline is desirable.

What We Offer

• Exposure to large and prestigious clients and estates, with varied and interesting workstreams
• A high standard of delivery with strong quality assurance processes, ensuring you’ll benefit from continuous improvement and technical support
• A supportive, friendly team with hybrid working from home and our office in Basingstoke
• Regular training and development tailored to individual professional development plans and team requirements
• 25 days annual leave, increasing with length of service
• Flexible working hours
• Group life assurance

The salary for this role is determined by experience and ability.
