Westmill Energy Chief Executive Officer
Energy4All
Energy4All are looking to recruit someone who can help to drive forward two pioneering renewable energy projects Westmill Wind Co-operative and Westmill Solar Co-operative (together known as Westmill Energy). As the UK's first community-owned solar farm and the first 100% community-owned onshore wind farm in southern England, the Westmill co-operatives are at the forefront of demonstrating how community ownership can transform our energy future.
This is a unique opportunity to lead two successful co-operatives with substantial resources and ambitious plans. From site expansion to innovative community energy projects, you'll have the scope to deliver transformational change while demonstrating the power of the co-operative model.
As CEO, you'll provide hands-on leadership across all operations—ensuring sites run efficiently, finances are robust, and stakeholders remain engaged. You'll work closely with dedicated boards of volunteer directors and the team within Energy4All to help raise the profile of both co-operatives locally and nationally.
The role offers genuine autonomy and impact. You'll manage key partnerships with local organisation, lead community engagement initiatives, oversee operational contracts, and represent the Westmills across the community energy sector.
If you're passionate about community energy and ready to lead organisations that are proving renewables can be owned and operated by the communities they serve, this is your opportunity to make a real difference.
