These opportunities don't come around too often - I'm working with a start-up who are supporting the UK with its goal of becoming Net Zero by 2050!

The work you'll do will genuinely help save the planet!

They’re currently a team of circa 20 (with around 50% of the business working in engineering) and are looking to add the first Lead Engineer to their existing team of amazing engineers in Bristol - the calibre of the team is exceptional!

After launching in early 2024, they’ve already built an impressive customer base & significant revenue generation. Their next step is to develop their suite of products further as they look to cover new areas within the renewable energy sector.

You’ll remain hands-on, working on a range of exciting projects & working with highly complex engineering problems, whilst also providing leadership to the team.

This is an amazing opportunity for someone who may have already begun their leadership journey, or potentially someone who is super-keen to embark on that journey and feels that they have all the skills to be successful in that type of role.
