Job Description

About the role

Great Britain's electricity system is undergoing an ambitious, exciting, and vital transformation. Together with industry, we are creating a cleaner, greener system that protects the planet and serves future generations.

The Whole Energy Modelling Team will undertake analysis across various topics and energy vectors (electricity, gas, hydrogen) to support our Strategy and Policy directorate. Your role involves contributing to whole energy system analysis, especially through case studies addressing key decarbonisation decisions. This analysis will provide the quantitative evidence needed to develop effective energy insights and advise government.

You will contribute to providing independent strategic advice and recommendations to industry and government on integrating decarbonised energy vectors into the UK’s energy system. Responsibilities include scoping work, conducting research and data analysis, and delivering insights that meet stakeholder and industry expectations, considering roles of Hydrogen and decarbonising heat, transport, and industry.

This role can be based in Warwick or Wokingham, with hybrid working options. We are open to full-time, part-time, and flexible working arrangements.

About us

Our mission is to facilitate the decarbonisation of Great Britain’s energy network, ensuring reliable, affordable, and green electricity. We collaborate across the energy industry to plan for future network needs, using insights to balance current systems and transform operations.

Becoming the National Energy System Operator

In Autumn 2024, the ESO will transition to the National Energy System Operator (NESO), responsible for planning and operating Great Britain’s electricity and gas networks. The ESO will become part of NESO, building capabilities across vectors including electricity, natural gas, and hydrogen, considering trade-offs for a sustainable, affordable, and secure energy future.

The organisation will be a public corporation with independent oversight, operational independence from government and regulators, and regulated by Ofgem.

By joining us, you’ll help shape energy use and consumption for future generations.

About you

We seek experts with:

• A broad understanding of the energy sector, including industry structure, regulation, and key issues.
• Strong analytical skills, capable of holistic energy system analysis, critiquing diverse information sources, and translating data into insights for varied audiences.
• Structured problem-solving skills, especially related to data challenges.
• Excellent communication skills to convey complex findings to non-technical stakeholders.
• High computer literacy, proficient in analytical software (e.g., R, SQL, MatLab, Excel, VBA) and data science tools (e.g., Python).

Key Accountabilities

• Work within a team to ensure robust modelling that informs energy insights and advice to government and regulators.
• Conduct modelling and analysis for statutory requests and energy insights, collaborating with cross-functional teams.
• Apply whole system thinking, translating analyses into compelling insights.
• Build relationships with other modelling teams, sharing best practices.
• Guide and train junior team members.
• Stay updated on emerging modelling techniques and incorporate them into analyses.
• Propose and evaluate hypotheses for future energy insights.

What you'll get

Salary: £52,000 - £65,000 pa, depending on experience. Benefits include bonuses, 26 days annual leave, a contributory pension scheme, and professional development resources.

• Support for skills growth and career development.
• A diverse, inclusive community fostering ideas and belonging.
• Comprehensive rewards covering health, finance, work/life balance, and career benefits.
