Head of Scheme
Are you someone who thrives in a collaborative, mission-driven environment where technical know-how, stakeholder engagement, and attention to detail all matter? Are you motivated by the opportunity to lead operational delivery and contribute to a nationally significant Certification Scheme that supports the UK’s net zero transition?
We’re looking for someone who is confident managing processes, communicating with a wide range of stakeholders, and staying calm under pressure. You’ll play a central role in how our Certification Scheme is delivered and governed—especially as we evolve and expand our impact in the small-scale renewables sector.
This is a fantastic opportunity to help MCS strengthen the day-to-day operations of the MCS installer and product certification schemes. In this role, you’ll work alongside an existing Scheme Manager to support the Head of Scheme in delivering the operational aspects of both certification schemes.
Although both Scheme Managers will contribute to the delivery of all schemes, this role will take the lead on the day-to-day delivery and ongoing development of the product certification scheme specifically. To deliver the MCS product certification scheme, MCS works with 10 different product certification bodies across the globe, offering certification for a broad range of renewable technologies.
To support this focus, we’re particularly interested in someone with product certification experience who can bring their expertise into the small-scale renewables sector and apply it effectively to our Scheme – helping to build on and enhance existing expertise within the scheme management team.
Beyond improving current operations, you’ll also help shape the future of the product certification scheme – contributing to its review and redesign to ensure it stays relevant and effective in a rapidly evolving market.
