About the Role
We are seeking a Delivery Manager to join our Biomass Supply Chain & Schemes team. In this role, you will manage the first-line delivery of biomass due diligence, assessing pellet mills against sustainability criteria set out in UK subsidy arrangements. You will run an ‘audit-ready’ workbook and ensure the systems, processes, and controls behind our sustainability information are regularly reviewed, maintained, and improved. Working closely with fuel buyers, auditors, Compliance, Internal Audit, analysts, and external suppliers, you will help ensure the information submitted to market operators, regulatory agencies, and government departments is accurate and compliant.

This is a key role in maintaining high standards across our biomass supply chain, combining detailed assurance work with stakeholder leadership and driving continuous improvement.

As a Delivery Manager, you will be responsible for managing a high-quality due diligence programme for biomass fuel, providing subject matter expertise on sustainability requirements of biomass support mechanisms and internal policy to maintain ongoing compliance. You will deliver evidence-based decision making on biomass due diligence programmes and ensure suppliers fully understand and adhere to the UK sustainability framework for UK fuel. You will also be accountable for key sustainability data and compliance processes, building effective relationships across the biomass supply chain and ensuring accurate and complete reporting to key internal and external stakeholders.

Key accountabilities include:
- Managing the delivery of a high-quality due diligence programme for biomass fuel
- Liaising with biomass fuel suppliers and leading the annual cycle of supplier engagement
- Managing and maintaining records within the Sustainability Data System (SDS), including continuous review and improvement of the system and associated processes
- Collaborating with the Delivery team to ensure accurate data collation, verification, and reporting
- Accountability for the compliance plan for UKTR
- Building and maintaining relationships with internal Biomass Buyers and external biomass suppliers to support efficient onboarding and contract management
- Reviewing certification documentation at regional and individual pellet mill levels
- Liaising with internal stakeholders including Compliance, Legal, Finance, and Sustainability teams
- Supporting audit activities

Who we are:
We generate dispatchable, renewable power and create stable energy in an uncertain world. Building on our proud heritage, we have the ambition to become the global leader in sustainable biomass and carbon removals. You will be joining teams of practical doers, future thinkers, and business champions, enabling a zero carbon, lower cost energy future for all and working hard to decarbonise the planet for generations to come.
