About Orennia
Orennia provides an all-in-one platform for accurate data, predictive analytics and actionable insights across the energy transition. We drive faster capital allocation decisions and help our clients maximise returns across the solar, wind, storage, power, clean fuels and hydrogen sectors. The technology that powers Orennia’s platform delivers an unparalleled experience, distilling information into actionable insights to give our clients a competitive edge.
Britain is rebuilding its electricity system. The 2021–22 gas price crisis showed how exposed homes and businesses are to volatile global fossil fuel markets, and the government’s Clean Power 2030 Action Plan aims for clean sources to produce at least 95% of Great Britain’s electricity by 2030, backed by an estimated £40 billion of investment a year. Increasingly, the grid sets the pace: connection queues, network build-out and rising constraint and curtailment costs will decide which projects get built and what they earn. Without accurate data and predictive analytics, developers and investors will struggle to deploy capital efficiently and maximise returns. Orennia’s platform gives them robust information for smarter capital allocation choices.
Why Join Orennia?
People are at the heart of the best technology companies. We’ve brought together some of the industry’s top experts and brightest minds in data orchestration, analytics, software development, and industry insights to uncover opportunities where others can’t. At Orennia, you’ll become part of a collaborative culture and do work that matters. We trust and support each other, ask hard questions and solve complex problems together. Guided by a spirit of inquiry, our team has a product-driven, continuous delivery mindset to drive our innovation forward.
The Opportunity
As Vice President, Grid & Transmission, you will play a central role in building Orennia’s UK grid and transmission analytics from the ground up, owning our view of how power flows across Great Britain’s network: where it is constrained, how much renewable output will be curtailed, and how policy and regulatory reform will change that picture. You will work directly with senior clients and internal leadership to turn that analysis into decisions on where to build, what to buy, and how assets will earn, driving commercial growth and establishing Orennia as a trusted partner in the energy transition.
This role combines deep technical expertise in power systems with market leadership, offering the opportunity to influence product development, expand our client base, and build a high-performing team while Great Britain’s grid is transformed. Our people are passionate and have a strong belief in our mission. Our efforts impact individuals and communities, all the while working toward a net-zero future.
If you’re hungry for opportunity, growth, and something meaningful in a dynamic, fun and challenging environment, we’d love to hear from you.
