Interim Engineering Director, Energy Power Resources
The Client
Energy Power Resources (EPR), part of the Melton Renewable Energy operation, generates electricity from biomass and agricultural residues. Its plants depend on specialist engineering, high availability and rigorous safety and environmental controls.
Running technically complex facilities like these means balancing planned maintenance, operational discipline and continuous improvement.
The Requirement
EPR’s brief was for an interim Engineering Director able to take responsibility quickly in a demanding renewable power generation environment. It centred on reliable plant performance, maintenance planning, technical risk and coordination with operational teams.
Engineering and operational priorities had to be set together. The right person would combine hands-on credibility with strategic oversight, and keep a clear focus on safety, compliance and asset integrity.
The Solution
Novo looked for engineering directors and senior technical leaders from power generation, energy from waste, process industries and other asset-intensive operations, using our interim management network.
Our process focused on:
- Plant reliability and planned outages
- Maintenance improvement and contractor management
- Capital projects
- Leadership of multidisciplinary engineering teams
Experience within tightly controlled safety and environmental frameworks was particularly relevant.
The Outcome
The interim appointment brought experienced engineering oversight to EPR’s operations, with clear accountability for operational reliability and technical priorities.
