This company works in partnership with schools and education facilities around the UK, providing high-quality teaching and support staff on a permanent and temporary basis, ensuring their schools can deliver the best to their students, every day.

Their achievements over the last two years have allowed the company to action their growth plans ahead of schedule and open new branches across the UK, meaning more people joining and the need for new operational roles to support this growth!

Based in London or Nottingham, this HR Director role will suit a strategic thinker with the willingness to roll their sleeves up and implement the initiatives they have developed (using your well-honed skills and knowledge of HR good practice).

Whilst the company is well established, this role will involve working closely with the Operations Director, to improve and develop the current policies and procedures, so experience of working within a recruitment company would be valuable.

The HR Director will be responsible for all aspects of the people strategy and delivery. You will oversee all aspects of internal recruitment, training, employee relations, compensation and benefits, and HR policy. This role gives you the opportunity to create your own effective programmes to recruit, motivate and retain personnel.

ClimateTech Commercial Operations Manager (Maritime Sector)
Location: UK, remote – some travel required.
Salary: Up to £80K + equity & benefits & bonuses (will consider contractor without equity/benefits and longer-term view to go perm)
Role: Build brand & commercial strategy ready to deliver products & services in 2024

Some industries are easily adaptable to reducing emissions, driven by consumer behaviours. Others need dragging into the 21st century which requires a different approach. More patience, resilience and tenacity.

Shipping is notoriously tied to the fossil fuels sector, around 50% of everything transported by boat is oil, coal or gas. At first, they were slow adopters but now the penny has dropped and there is a somewhat hidden gold rush.

The company are developing wind-assisted solutions that aren’t available anywhere else. They’re seeing incredible demand from companies large and small. However, technology and hardware are still 18 months from delivery – in part because demand for these systems was small 5 years ago, 10 years ago it was non-existent.

They’ve raised several £million already – a mix of private equity and grants, with further multi-million-£ grants pending, some tied to outcomes and deadlines, others to drive R&D further – and will use that to deliver two test and validation projects, as well as further case studies to advance the case for adoption and improve credibility.

This person will network and present this company, its products and services to the world, creating a sales strategy so that when the hardware is ready for delivery in 2024 there’s a pipeline of customers. You’ll map the industry and potential clients engaging them to improve their understanding of how products can meet customer needs.

Department for Transport studies and data show there are more than 40,000 vessels worldwide that are eligible for using these wind technologies to cut fuel use and emissions by ~20-30%, delivering savings that can more than cover costs throughout the asset lifetime. Experts say 40K is a huge underestimate, so the opportunity is incredible.

The company are looking to the aviation sector for inspiration on its business model. Looking to lease equipment so that when vessels reach their end of life, assets aren’t stranded and don’t fall into disrepair, but instead are re-applied across businesses and their fleets.

There’s potential for maintenance contracts and weather insurance opportunities, too, so exp. With 3rd parties and building partnerships or exploring new ideas is beneficial. Not to mention their plans to offer logistics and route optimisation services through weather modelling software.

As part of all that, you’ll ensure profit margins and service costs are appropriate to generate revenue and maximise competition in a market that is currently in its infancy, with frankly quite wild room for growth and expansion.

Experience taking new products and ideas to market will stand out, particularly in heavy industry or start-ups.

ClimateTech Project Director – Maritime sector

Location: UK, with travel to Scotland required, ad-hoc.

Salary: Up to £80K + equity & benefits (will consider contractor without equity/benefits)

Role: Take ownership of large-scale test & validation project, and other projects coming online.

When it comes to climate solutions some sectors are highly adaptable and driven by consumer behaviours towards change.

For others, the situation is more complex, with assets tied into operations for 30-year life spans and difficult trade-offs for retro-fits or bit-part actions. The maritime sector falls into that category.

Around 50% of everything transported by boat is fuel. Oil, coal or gas.

It’s easy to see a problem there regarding decarbonisation. But it must happen and finally ” thanks to the tireless work of a small, resilient and determined group ” it is. Appetite is growing faster than solutions providers can keep up with.

That appetite isn’t all for hydrogen, methane or ammonia engines and EV boats ” which are decades away *hint, 30-year assets* ” but for hybrid solutions, taking existing ships and retrofitting them with wind solutions that can cut fuel use and emissions by ~20-30% now. Why wait? Huge savings in fuels costs and emissions.

*Cue the Project Director, come on down!

We need someone with a varied skillset centred around project management. With experience working on multi-million £/$ projects, coordinating with the CFO keeping an eye on budgets, ensuring all key stakeholders are updated ” including C-suite folks, business and R&D partners, government and policy people, potential customers and more.

You don’t need to be from the maritime sector ” though shipping, heavy industry or engineering experience may be beneficial if you’ve works on R&D intensive projects before ” but you’ll need strong initiative, to be adaptable and pick up complex technical language, also being comfy working in a start-up where tasks not aligned with your responsibilities inevitably fall at your feet.

You’ll work with highly skilled industry experts such as navel architects and ship designers, data scientists etc. ” hence maritime exp. not being essential ” who can confirm or guide on whether materials or methodology fits, explain the ins-and-outs of risks or break down scientific reports, but you will become an expert in this field over time.

This is a Systems Design company, covering hardware to get ships from A to B using less fuel, and the software to optimise it all. They’ve have secured ~£5million in funding to prove the value in the products they will eventually take to market.

They have a business model that looks to lease the wind-propulsion hardware, offering software and logistics services to optimise the fuel savings made when retrofitting or building new ships with integrated wind technologies.

This is an incredibly interesting role at a time when the industry is clamouring for decarbonisation solutions. With few competitors ” none as far along the process ” and more than 40,000 vessels capable of utilising these technologies (Dept. for Transport research) there’s never been a better time to jump aboard”

GreenTech Software Engineering Manager ” Hands-Off

Salary: £80,000 – £130,000 + equity & benefits
Location: Fully remote, must be UK based

Is tech leadership your thing? Do you love getting a team of people to glide like a sailing boat on calm waters in a steady breeze?

And do you also care about sorting out the climate crisis, tackling meaty issues like food poverty and waste of” meat, and stuff?

Wellll then read on.

You likely forged your career as a developer working with dev teams of varied sizes ga’thumping interesting and engaging problems, where tech provides a tangible and useful solution.

The real important things for this role are leadership and scale. Have you led teams through big migrations, redesigns or rearchitecting and refactoring platforms and services? Has that software serviced millions of users?

The Mobile and Web app here has more than 6 million global users. They’re looking at problems linked to how their infrastructure and assets can work more efficiently, factoring in geographical and culture differences in user behaviours or digital access and capacity.

Sustainability is the aim of the game, enabling millions and then hundreds of, or even billions of people to live more sustainably and share the food or other items they don’t need, want, or no longer have use for.

Imagine working for a company that is actively changing how the world works, making it easy for us to turn wasteful consumers of excess to community-based action-heroes who are actively building a more sustainable future through the use of technology”

That can’t happen at scale [in a social system with raaaaather significant design flaws] without communities and the individuals within them adapting. This App facilitates all of that and improves social engagement along with a host of other benefits.

This role is hands-off. Tech knowledge is important, but building and maintaining happy and productive teams is important’er… Onboarding folks so they can settle in quickly and improving that process. And the happy part is probably most important. This company treat their people well and want them fresh and motivated to work. They don’t over work people and offer unrivalled flexibility to live and work how you see best.

Want to work from somewhere sunny for ~6 months of the year? That’s fine. They’re fully remote as standard ” always have been, so they’re set up for that structure. Ya just need to pay tax in the UK.

You’ll be leading a mobile team of 6 ” growing to 10 by the time you join as two Senior React Native devs are starting in the coming weeks and a [hands-on] Tech Lead will join soon, too ” including a QA Tester. You will help take ownership of delivering their projects, optimising processes, improving efficiency and skills within the team, and likely add 2-3 more people in 2023.

Their tech centres around Ruby on Rails and React (Native) and they use things like AWS with S3, ECR, ELB, Cloudwatch and also use Docker, Travis CI for their pipelines, lots of google maps integration and Redis, among other things. So any experience with those or similar tools would be cool, but not essential.

You’ll work closely with stakeholders including customers and product managers, other Team Leads and Engineering Managers, the CTO and other leadership to shape the priorities and direction of the platform.

So, fancy using your skills to help one the coolest and most newsworthy sustainability-tech companies in the world, while also advancing your career?

There’s plenty more to talk about, so send over your CV and let’s have a chat.

ClimateTech CTO – Hands-On

Location: Fully Remote (ideally UK).
Salary: £75K + benefits & equity

Tech stack: Python, Django, React, AWS, PostgreSQL

Know the saying, “a wolf in sheep’s clothing”? What if instead of a wolf there was clothing? And for the sheep, just more piles of clothing?

There’s a literal clothing desert in Chile and billions of discarded items are incinerated each year, on top of most of the items we wear are made from plastic/polyester.

There’s nothing sheepish about the company we are working with, they are fiercely changing the fashion industry, enabling brands to identify a sustainable pathway for their supply chain, through transparency and valuable data insights.

By doing this, businesses improve their own practices and focus their future activity on suppliers taking real steps to cut emissions, improve the sourcing of materials, tackle modern slavery and more.

They are essentially building a platform, which grants their clients access to data that otherwise they wouldn’t be able to collate or translate into actionable points. Through this platform, they also improve data the companies already have by making it broader and easier to work with.

This is incredibly powerful in achieving buy-in from major brands, helping them establish which factories they should do more work with, and which they should either steer away from or increase pressure to change.

They use data from various sources including publicly available international trade and shipping data, data from certification bodies and public information orgs addressing issues like pollution or modern slavery and they’re always finding additional sources to interrogate and improve the quality of data used.

One of the co-founders has been acting as CTO and building their software and data platform with some support from contractors.  He’s from a more product-focused background and needs an expert software engineer to take over in terms of technical leadership, making decisions on tooling, infrastructure, scaling up and executing their plans.

The team is small and they’ve just raised money, primarily from one angel investor, with an aim to become self-sustaining in the next 12-18 months, so you’ll essentially become part of the founding team, contributing to their vision and defining their pathway to reach profitability.

This means you’ll help them hire additional people as they grow and increase their impact, enable the scaling of their platform to bring additional customers, grow the number of users and add new functionality in line with customer needs.

Tech-wise they use Python, Django and React. They’re hoping to find someone with good cloud experience, though they’re not picky on which platform you’ve used. And PostgreSQL and good data/pipeline experience would be handy to have, too, as they have lots of data coming in from different places.

If you’re up for tackling intersecting social and environmental issues in a role as a founding member and CTO, this could be the one for you! Feel free to email, call or hit apply!
