North Tyneside’s Utilitywise begins multi-role recruitment drive

North Tyneside based company Utilitywise, one of the UK’s leading business energy and water consultancies, has begun a recruitment drive with many jobs opening up in the coming weeks.

The company, who recently relocated to Cobalt Business Park, is rapidly expanding and forecasted to have 1,400 employees across the group by 2016. Utilitywise is recruiting for many positions, including Energy Consultants and Customer Care Managers, who will have the opportunity to start at the new offices and benefit from full training.

The biggest increases in job availability at Utilitywise will be for Energy Consultants where 20 to 40 new starters are being recruited every month. The customer care team is also due to be significantly expanded from the current team of 10 to 160 over the next 18 months.

Utilitywise is a market leader in SME and the Industrial and Commercial sector. The company offers a complete range of utility management services to its customers to help them procure, reduce, monitor and manage their utilities.

Utilitywise works with all types of businesses across the UK, from small and medium sized companies such as South Shields Indoor Bowls Club to large corporations like Joy Global and Costa Coffee.

The North East based company was set up in 2006 and has seen swift growth and development, subsequently being floated on the stock market for an IPO in June 2012.

CEO of Utilitywise, Geoff Thompson, commented: “We’re absolutely delighted to be opening up job opportunities in the company at our home in the North East.

“Since I set up the business as a three man band, it’s flourished at a rate greater than I could have imagined. More space in our new premises and more staff will hopefully see Utilitywise go from strength to strength in the next few years.”

Claire Dent, Director of People & HR at Utilitywise said: “With our recent move to a larger premises in Cobalt Business Park, we are in a great position to offer job opportunities as more space allows us to expand our workforce.

“We are currently in the process of recruiting for many roles throughout the organisation, from customer care to consultants and as the company moves from strength to strength we see these roles offering sustainable work for the region. We’re proud to be an employer of choice for our local community.”
