Peter Schoeneberg takes up the role having served as the chief financial officer (CFO) of Enerveo since June 2022. 

He succeeds former CEO Zak Houlahan, who announced his intention to step down last month. 

Over the last 21 years, Schoeneberg’s career has spanned a range of industries including contracting, manufacturing, and environmental services, having previously held roles at Amey and waste management company Viridor. 

He said: “As we enter a new era for the business, I look forward to leading the team through the next stage of our development.  

“As a major mechanical and electrical contractor, we have an important role to play in enabling society to achieve net zero targets and we are focused on meeting challenges head on to deliver the best value and service for our customers.”

Last month, SSE reacquired Enerveo after it struggled to operate as an independent business. 

The energy company had previously sold Enerveo, which was then known as SSE Contracting, to investment firm Aurelius Group in 2021.  

Recent accounts show the Birmingham-headquartered company suffered a downturn in financial performance, despite a company restructure aimed at cost reduction and attempts to win higher margin projects.    

SSE recently said it was conducting a review of each part of the business.
