About Us
The Welsh Government is establishing a publicly owned renewable energy developer – Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru. Its purpose is to put net zero and the communities of Wales at the heart of the transition required to address the huge challenge of climate change. Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru will scale up the rollout of renewable energy projects across the Welsh public estate, principally through onshore wind and solar PV technologies. We aim to have more than one gigawatt of locally owned, locally generated clean energy by 2040. We have a genuine opportunity to produce an income that will be reinvested in improving people’s lives in Wales as well as creating good quality, clean energy jobs.
This new company should drive a new approach to delivering benefits from renewables that really make a difference to communities. The current cost of living crisis underlines the importance of energy in our society and involving people in developing different models of benefit sharing will be crucial to the company’s success.
The Role
As a newly created company, we are now seeking to expand our team by recruiting an experienced, self-starting senior administrator. The role will be responsible for organising and coordinating business meetings and managing the day-to-day schedules of the Chief Executive Officer and members of the Leadership Team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is looking for a new challenge to be part of something right from the start.
If you feel you have solid admin skills, excellent communication and organisation skills, attention to detail, and you are used to working on your own initiative we would be very interested to hear from you.
Location
The company will operate using a hybrid model where staff will spend a proportion of their time working from home. Meetings and other joint activities will be hosted from time to time by Welsh Government at various office locations across Wales. The Company’s Head Office will operate out of Merthyr Tydfil. The role holder will need to be flexible as the job will require travel from time to time within the country.
A copy of the Job Description and Person Specification together with details on how to apply can be found in the candidate information pack.
In return, we offer a competitive salary depending on skills and experience, 28 days annual leave plus 8 public holidays, and a defined contribution pension scheme.
We are committed to creating an inclusive working environment for everyone. We especially encourage applications from all underrepresented groups. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability. We are happy to consider flexible working.
