Closing date: Noon 2 April 2024

Reference: TGCTC

The Welsh Government is establishing a publicly owned renewable energy developer – Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru. Its purpose is to put net zero and the communities of Wales at the heart of the transition required to address the huge challenge of climate change.  Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru will scale up the rollout of renewable energy projects across the Welsh public estate, principally through onshore wind and solar PV technologies.  We aim to have more than one gigawatt of locally owned, locally generated clean energy by 2040. We have a genuine opportunity to produce an income that will be reinvested in improving people’s lives in Wales as well as creating good quality, clean energy jobs. 

This new company should drive a new approach to delivering benefits from renewables that really make a difference to communities. The current cost of living crisis underlines the importance of energy in our society and involving people in developing different models of benefit sharing will be crucial to the company’s success.

As a newly created company, we are now seeking to expand our team by recruiting two Project Technical Coordinators to work as part of a small team responsible for designing and delivering a pipeline of renewable onshore energy projects. 

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is looking to develop their career, looking for a new challenge or the opportunity to be part of something right from the start that will create a more sustainable future for all. 

Further details of the role and the requirements of the post can be found in the candidate information pack: https://www.gov.wales/trydan-gwyrdd-cymru-project-technical-coordinator-candidate-pack. If you feel once you have considered the requirements of the role that you have the relevant qualifications and experience we would be extremely interested to hear from you.

The company will operate using a hybrid model where staff will spend a proportion of their time working from home when not out in the field.  Meetings and other joint activities will be hosted from time to time by Welsh Government at various office locations across Wales. The Company’s Head Office is based in Merthyr Tydfil. The role holder will need to be flexible as the job will require travel from time to time within the country.

In return, we offer a competitive salary depending on skills and experience, 28 days annual leave plus 8 public holidays, and a defined contribution pension scheme.
