Why is this role important to Origami:

We have a start-up mentality and look for true team players who thrive in an environment where you need to adapt quickly to business priorities.

We are on the lookout for smart, hardworking, resilient, and adaptable people that can work with us and help get us there faster.

Origami strives to deliver a best in class customer experience, so we’re looking for a confident, experienced project engineer. As a project engineer, you’ll be responsible for connecting assets to Origami’s platform and accelerating the adoption of renewable energy, as well as completing feasibility studies and surveys around the UK. Representing Origami in the field, the project engineer plays a crucial role in our customer’s experience, building trust and rapport at an engineering level, while focussing on the goal of delivering our technology. As a subject matter expert for all things distributed energy related, you’ll be providing insight and sharing knowledge with the wider team to better understand an asset’s utilisation capabilities and behaviours.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables: 

Reporting to the Director of Customer Delivery as an integral part of the Customer Delivery team, you will be responsible for leading field activities in the adoption of our technology.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Creating and maintaining a safe working culture for our employees and contractors in the field, applying a zero harm philosophy and leading by example.
• Undertaking surveys and studies on sites around the UK consisting of demand (load), generation, and storage assets; evaluating their ability to participate in various markets and programs, and how we propose to enable them to do so effectively – both feasibility and flexibility

Skills & Experience:

You are both decisive and instinctive, taking responsibility for issues as they arise, using your experience and problem solving skills to remove and frictions points preventing progress.

You could apply your knowledge and experience to evaluate an industrial process or energy asset in order to determine whether flexibility exists in its operation; and to identify what changes would have to occur to utilise an asset’s ability to deviate from its normal operation.
