This project will support small-scale solar PV and battery storage installations across 6–8 farm and community sites. Alongside the practical delivery, it will bring together landowners, communities, energy specialists, local authorities and network stakeholders to explore a longer-term approach to more resilient, locally beneficial energy systems on Dartmoor.
We’re looking for someone who can hold both the practical and the strategic:
Someone who can manage project plans, budgets, site relationships and delivery timelines.
Someone who understands capital infrastructure or renewable energy projects.
Someone who can build trust, convene partners and help translate learning from a pilot into future opportunities for Dartmoor.
The role is part-time and self-employed, initially for 12 months.
Fee: £14,000–£21,000, based on approximately 75–100 days per year
Location: Dartmoor, with hybrid working
Anticipated start date: Around 1 September 2026
Closing date: 28 August 2026
Dartmoor Futures is a charity which convenes, tests and grows ideas that support a thriving, regenerative and resilient Dartmoor.
