There it is!
Your new job as Project Manager in the Energy Transition for, among others, the National Insulation Programme at our fast-growing company focused on making homes and neighbourhoods more sustainable. Your #1 goal is to successfully deliver multiple complex projects for an average of 15+ municipalities to achieve their sustainability goals. Think of projects such as energy-saving programmes for tenants and homeowners, activating VvEs (owners' associations) and innovative approaches to combating energy poverty. You make a direct, measurable impact by turning municipal policy into implementation and concrete results.
What you will do
In this role you are the link between municipalities, external stakeholders (installers, energy cooperatives, social partners) and our internal team. You oversee a wide range of projects that differ in scale and complexity. In this role you always keep track of the projects, you switch quickly, have strong communication skills to advise policy officers, and you monitor the progress and quality of implementation . In short, project management from A to Z.
These are the projects where you will make an impact:
-
National Insulation Programme: For the National Insulation Programme, several projects have been set up that encourage residents to take insulation measures with the help of subsidies. Think for example of HR++ glass, floor insulation or roof insulation. Within this scheme we advise residents to get an advisory consultation at home, to do it themselves, or to get started with a contractor.
-
Tackling Energy Poverty: We advise on supporting households with a low income combined with a high energy bill. We help residents with energy-saving measures, advice and subsidies.
-
Energy Fixer Project: Our energy fixers visit homes to install small energy-saving measures for free, such as LED lamps, radiator foil and draught strips. In addition, they give residents tips on energy-efficient behaviour.
-
White Goods Project: Households with a low income and high energy consumption can receive a more efficient fridge, washing machine or freezer through this project. This directly helps them save on their energy bill. The old appliances are disposed of responsibly.
Roughly speaking, your week looks like this:
-
Project management (45% of your time): You continuously ensure the right direction and steering within the projects you are responsible for. These are multi-year projects. You steer on time, quality and budget, and above all on making as much sustainable impact as possible. For this you mainly use the project management tool Asana and the customer system Salesforce. You base your decisions as much as possible on data and ensure that agreements about the projects are well secured.
-
Stakeholder management & advice (45% of your time): You are the first point of contact for the province, municipalities, colleagues and other involved parties. You hold regular meetings, present progress reports and ensure optimal collaboration. You advise municipalities on how they can move from policy to implementation through our projects. You keep colleagues informed of progress and of what you need from them. You advise municipalities on how they can move from policy to implementation through our projects. You work closely with the colleagues from Sales & Accounts to ensure we can achieve lasting impact at municipalities.
-
Resident activation (10% of your time): You inform and motivate residents to take sustainable measures through online or physical information evenings and campaigns. In this role you are less involved with individual residents. Our customer service handles individual questions from residents.
