**Job description**:

- Do you have a passion for helping address climate change? Heating our buildings accounts for 33% of the UK's carbon emissions today and is one of our biggest climate challenges. You could be part of the team solving this issue.
- The Clean Heat Directorate is tackling arguably the most difficult decarbonisation challenge facing the country. Heating must be almost totally decarbonised to meet net zero. Currently natural gas is used for heating in 85% of buildings and many industrial processes. The main options for decarbonising heat at national scale are switching to electric heating and/or replacing natural gas with hydrogen.
- The Hydrogen Heating Team is leading the department’s work to test the safety and feasibility of hydrogen as an option for decarbonising the gas grid. We are working with industry on a joint programme across a wide range of projects. These include assessing the changes required for end-users and the gas infrastructure; laboratory and field testing; and consumer trialling.
- We are looking for an experienced Head of Technical to provide technical leadership across the R&D programme and to manage our technical collaboration with industry. They will use their proven technical skills and experience to contribute to the ongoing to design and development of the Programme and to help establish our credibility with industry partners. They will provide scrutiny and challenge and help to ensure the Programme is set up to deliver answers to our most pressing and difficult technical questions.
- The Hydrogen Heating team is in the Clean Heat Directorate in DESNZ. It is a friendly, large, multidisciplinary programme team, including project delivery and policy professionals, analysts, engineers, commercial and delivery specialists. It is sociable and supportive - with a range of regular in person and virtual social activities - and people are encouraged to ask questions and put forward their ideas in a safe environment.
- We prioritise learning and development: there is a well-established local L&D programme which receives very positive feedback as well as many wider opportunities. People in the team have flexible working arrangements, including regular working from home, flexi time and compressed hours.**Person specification**:
**Key responsibilities**

The Hydrogen Heating team is currently working with industry partners to deliver a programme of work to enable rigorous assessment of the safety, feasibility and other impacts of transitioning the gas network to hydrogen, the changes that this would involve for consumers, and public attitudes.

You will work across the R&D programme to:

- Provide technical input to specific areas of the programme, working in collaboration with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and wider industry partners,
- Identify the key technical questions that need to be answered by the programme and monitor the ongoing development of the technical evidence base in specific areas,
- Provide review and scrutiny of work designed and managed by industry and critical analysis of the developing evidence base,
- Oversee the
