Purpose of the Job 

ENGIE UK is made up of several Global Business Units (GBUs) and a Global Energy Management and Sales (GEMS) team.

This is a new and important role in our business and an exciting opportunity to create an internal brand and culture at a fast-growing, ambitious, and purpose-driven global business. You will be supported by a communications and content officer who helps the communications team of 6 people.
