• Data Analysis
  • Analyse, and validate utility data, including energy and water bills, consumption patterns, and rates, in conjunction with third party assurance providers.
  • Identify trends, anomalies, and potential areas for improvement in utility consumption and costs.
  • Conduct benchmarking analysis to compare energy consumption and costs against established standards and best practices.
• Energy Conservation and Efficiency:
  • Identify energy-saving opportunities and make recommendations to optimise energy consumption across facilities.
  • Collaborate with the operations team and other relevant stakeholders to understand drivers behind utility usage.

  • Analyse and interpret sustainability metrics, identifying opportunities for improvement and goal achievement.
• Stakeholder Engagement:
  • Collaborate with internal teams, including property managers, facility managers, and finance teams, to ensure accurate utility data collection and reporting.
  • Communicate with utility representatives, and other stakeholders to resolve billing discrepancies, address utility-related issues, and stay informed about industry trends and changes.
