We are an innovative and market-leading software & services company based in Chorley serving clients in the utility sector ranging from new entrants to large existing suppliers. We deliver sophisticated software solutions and managed services in a Private Cloud infrastructure, servicing both traditional and modern real-time, smart energy clients.

With this role you will be working on our CRM & Billing solution which features a customer-driven proactive roadmap that introduces innovation for the billing of new digital energy services across the utilities market.

We operate a Hybrid working policy so you will be able to flex between working in the office and your home location to carry out this role, however during your initial training period the need to be in office with other team members will be essential. Our UK office is based in Chorley, which is where you will be based.

• We all feel we're driving forward the best versions of ourselves,
• We feel equipped to do our jobs and understand why it's important,
