- The opportunity to help shape one of the UK's leading community energy organisations
About SELCE
South East London Community Energy (SELCE) is an award-winning, member-owned energy cooperative working to create a fair and just energy transition. We believe everyone should benefit from the transition to renewable energy.
Through our innovative community financing model, local people invest in renewable energy projects that benefit their communities. SELCE currently owns and operates over 550 kWp of solar PV across 12 sites throughout South East London and will install a further 600 kWp this summer, with additional projects already in development.
Our work has received national recognition, including Community Energy Project at the British Renewable Energy Awards 2026, the Fuel Poverty Action award at the Community Energy England Awards 2025 and Social Value Category at Retrofit Academy Awards 2025.
Why join SELCE?
You'll be joining one of the UK's leading community energy organisations at an exciting period of growth. Every project you help deliver will reduce carbon emissions, lower energy costs for schools, charities and community organisations, and generate long-term funding that supports households experiencing fuel poverty.
As a small, ambitious organisation, SELCE offers the opportunity to work directly with senior decision-makers, develop projects from concept to installation and build a unique combination of technical, commercial and people skills.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
SELCE values diversity and is committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve. We particularly welcome applications from people currently underrepresented within the renewable energy sector.
