Industrial Investment and Policy Officer

**Description**:
We are looking for a specialist in government industrial policy, incentives and investment attraction to join our rapidly expanding team in London or at our HQ in Edinburgh.

As **Industrial Investment and Policy Officer**, you will play a crucial role in shaping ENODA’s ability to deliver our revolutionary hardware at scale. ENODA’s proprietary technology, the Enoda PRIME® Exchanger, is a drop in replacement for the distribution substation equipment in the electricity grid.

To service the exponential demand for GridTech, we are standing up our own manufacturing facilities to produce the device at scale. These factories will be supported by public funding from different levels of government in several jurisdictions.

You will own the relationship with Governmental organisations and departments that administer these programmes, and support wider policy team activity to engage governments on relevant broader policy questions, especially industrial policy and investment attraction.

This role will require frequent travel between our London and Edinburgh offices, and some travel to the EU and US.

**Who we are**

Energy is the primary input to everything. Our continued prosperity is dependent on reliable, affordable, clean electricity.

ENODA is an innovator in energy platforms, developing advanced technologies for grid operators and developers that remove constraints to decarbonisation.

Integrated hardware and software solutions slot into existing infrastructure, enabling the grid to become self-balancing and the primary provider of system stability.

We are a mission-driven organisation committed to enabling humanity to prosper on 100% renewable energy. We are averse to introducing bureaucracy and are building a working culture that enables us to achieve our purpose and change the world.
