Operations & Quality Coordinator (1 year Fixed Term Contract)

Job Description

Locogen is a group of renewable energy companies headquartered in Edinburgh. Our vision is a world powered 100% by renewables; where everyone has access to affordable, sustainable energy and clean air. We have ambitious plans and there's lots to do!

We are now looking for an Operations & Quality Coordinator to support in embedding clear, practical and proportionate ways of working across the organisation, and to coordinate the integration of quality, health & safety and operational standards into everyday processes.

About our Operations & Quality Coordinator (1 year Fixed Term Contract) role

TYu will coordinate and maintain clear, proportionate and practical ways of working across the organisation, ensuring quality, health & safety and environmental requirements are embedded into everyday processes. Working closely with teams, you'll review and document core processes, identify inefficiencies and support the implementation of workable improvements that make operations smoother and more consistent.

Acting as the internal point of coordination for external H&S support, you'll track actions, translate advice into usable guidance and escalate risks where appropriate. You'll also help capture learning from projects and incidents, ensuring continuous, steady improvement as the organisation grows.

This is a fixed term 12 month contract with the possibility of becoming permanent.

Some of the things you might be doing

• Keeping our ways of working clear and usable.
  • Updating process guides so they actually reflect how we work, helping teams apply consistent approaches to projects, and making sure policies are straightforward, proportionate and easy to use.
• Smoothing out how work flows.
  • Spotting where things feel clunky, duplicated or overly manual, working with teams to improve them, and following through so changes don't just live in a document somewhere.
• Coordinating health & safety in practice.
  • Being the internal link with our external H&S support, scheduling reviews, tracking actions, turning advice into practical guidance, and making sure requirements are built into how we work - not bolted on at the end.
• Driving steady improvement.
  • Capturing lessons from projects and incidents, updating processes accordingly, and helping build a culture where we make regular, sensible improvements rather than big, reactive fixes.

Who would be a good fit for the role?

We're looking for someone who enjoys bringing structure and clarity to how things work. If you're naturally organised, practical and detail-oriented - and you get satisfaction from making processes clearer and more consistent - you'll thrive in this role.

You'll be comfortable working across teams, asking questions about how things are done, and suggesting sensible improvements. You don't need to be a compliance expert, but you should feel confident coordinating standards, keeping documentation up to date, and helping translate requirements into something that works in practice.

And, of course, if you're motivated by working in renewable energy and contributing to a more sustainable future, that's a big plus.

Key skills and experience we are looking for

Must-have

• Experience supporting quality, governance or compliance requirements within operational teams.

• Working knowledge of Health & Safety principles in an office or project-based environment.
• Experience coordinating actions with external advisors or specialist providers.
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to track documentation, standards and actions effectively.
• Proactive and structured approach, with confidence escalating risks or issues where needed.

Nice-to-have

• Exposure to quality management systems or formal standards (e.g. ISO frameworks).
• Experience in a consultancy, engineering, renewable energy or project-based SME environment.
• Familiarity with environmental compliance requirements.
• Formal H&S qualification (e.g. IOSH).
