Job Description

Energy is one of the defining industries of our time central to the global economy, the climate transition, and the future of technology.

At Nationwide Utilities, we sit right at that crossroads helping some of the UK and Europe's biggest energy users make smarter, greener, and more commercially sound decisions. With over two decades of industry heritage and the momentum of a high-growth scale-up, we're investing heavily in our next chapter: AI-powered tools, cutting-edge marketing, and strategic expansion across European markets.
