Eclipse Power Networks Announces Strategic Restructure to Enhance Customer Focus and Operational Efficiency

Introduction

In a move aimed at better serving our clients and connected customers, and to position the company for future growth, we are pleased to announce a comprehensive restructure of our Customer Connections Operations department. The strategic changes are designed to streamline processes, improve project delivery for our clients, and ensure scalability to meet the increasing demands of the market. This positive change is to ensure we increase our focus on programme delivery and asset management.
 
The Customer Journey is of upmost importance to us, and with this in mind, the decision to restructure the Operations department comes as part of our commitment to prioritising customer satisfaction and addressing the evolving needs of the energy sector. We recognise the importance of not only meeting, but exceeding customer expectations in a rapidly changing landscape to reach Net Zero.
 
Key objective of the restructure
Customer-Centric Approach – The restructured Operations department will be laser-focused on understanding and meeting the unique needs of our clients and connected customers. This shift aims to enhance customer satisfaction and strengthen long-term relationships.
End-to-End Project Delivery – The reorganisation will facilitate a more seamless and integrated approach to project management, ensuring a smoother transition from project award to adoption. By optimising project delivery processes, we aim to deliver high-quality engineering solutions within specified timelines.
Operational Efficiency – Streamlining internal processes is a central goal of the restructuring. By identifying and eliminating bottlenecks, the company aims to enhance operational efficiency and improve overall productivity.
Scalability for Future Growth – Anticipating the growing demands of the energy market, we are positioning ourselves for scalability. The restructure will mean we are better equipped to handle increased workloads for our clients.

While the restructuring involves organisational changes, we are committed to supporting our employees through the transition. The company will provide resources for skill development and training programs to ensure that the workforce is aligned with the new operational model.
