I help to deliver Mercury’s sustainability disclosures, whilst looking at global and national trends in energy. Part of my role is to grow the culture of sustainability within Mercury whilst delivering different initiatives and supporting Mercury’s strategic direction. I get a load of variety with my role, and work with stakeholders across the organisation, as well as externally.
Every day brings a fresh challenge and opportunity to learn. I have had a diverse journey, from the Customer Engagement Centre to Risk Control and Process Improvement roles before landing my current gig as a Sustainability and Strategy Analyst. The opportunity for me to develop my skillset and grow my career within one organisation has been excellent; I get to explore new pathways whilst Mercury also gives me the space to Chair the Young Energy Professionals Network, broadening my exposure to the energy sector.
Cliché, but forward-looking – Mercury is an evolving company in an ever-evolving sector. There’s a dynamic blend of adaptability, growth and support – I constantly have learning opportunities to keep me ahead of the curve. I have had the privilege of moving through various roles, learning and upskilling as I go. Flexibility is prioritised beyond working locations, I do a 9-day fortnight – which is great for my work-life balance!
