Current Opportunities
Here at FEL we pride ourselves on being a close-knit team with one common goal: Changing our world for the better. Project by project. If that sounds like you, have a look at our current open opportunities. Your next great role could be with us, making a tangible difference to the way people in your community eat, move and live.
Join the FEL team – we're recruiting!
We’re recruiting to fill two roles:
- Energy Development Lead
- Energy Advice Officer
These roles are both with our Energy team, helping individuals and communities take control of their energy use, save money, and reduce their carbon emissions. From retrofit, renewable energy technologies and planning to everyday behavioural shifts, we equip people with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to make lasting change.
Let us tell you what we’re about, what we can offer, and what we’re looking for.
If it sounds like you (and you like the sound of us), then tell us more about yourself: email us your CV and attach a short covering letter (500 words max) explaining why you’d like to work for us and what you’ll bring to the role. Email us at, info@felscotland.org
Applications close Midnight 29th of September. Interviews will be held between 9th to the 15th of October.
Energy Development Lead
As our Energy Development Lead, you’ll take forward FEL Energy Futures feasibility project that will design a community-owned energy generation and reinvestment model across
Forth Valley, you will:
• Design: Lead the feasibility study for 2–3 renewable energy sites. Work with communities, councils, housing associations, and anchor institutions to co-create solutions that meet local needs.
• Test: Translate technical, financial, and legal assessments into a delivery-ready business case. Develop governance and reinvestment models that tackle fuel poverty, grow green skills, and strengthen resilience.
• Scale: Share learning with Scotland’s Climate Hub network and beyond—so our region’s progress can inspire and shape national practice and policy.
You’ll work closely with FEL colleagues, steering group, communities, and technical partners to ensure the project delivers on its vision of community-owned clean energy with real social impact.
Energy Advice Officer
As our Energy Advice Officer, you’ll work with FEL colleagues to help community organisations, Volunteers and Householders to take part in energy saving activities, to help improve energy efficiency, thermal comfort and adapt to the climate emergency and take local action to mitigate its effects. You’ll be responsible for improving energy expertise among current and future community leaders, and for helping them build local engagement around the issue, particularly in areas where it’s currently low. You’ll help them communities create energy saver plans and then gather the evidence and build the networks they need to attract investment and resources to deliver them. You will help householders improve energy efficiency by home visits, phone/in person advice.
You’ll work closely with the FEL Communications team to raise awareness and understanding of the climate and nature emergency, related to energy themes and to grow our FEL membership. You’ll then help our members advocate effectively for climate action and amplify the voices of their communities in pushing for change specifically relating to energy themes. You’ll also be involved in recruiting, retaining and supporting volunteers, and will manage up to 15 of them directly.
The role is based at our main Stirling offices but there will be potential for home working and some need to visit our hubs across the Forth Valley. You’ll also need to be able to work evenings and weekends from time to time. Please note that this role includes providing householder advice in their homes and so requires a full clean driving licence.
