**About the National Infrastructure Commission**

The National Infrastructure Commission was established in 2016 to provide government with impartial, expert advice on major long-term infrastructure challenges. The Commission advises government on all sectors of economic infrastructure (energy, transport, water and wastewater, waste, flood risk management and digital communications), as well as on cross-cutting issues, including planning, regulation and financing/funding.

The Commission’s objectives are to:

- support sustainable economic growth across all regions of the UK
- improve competitiveness
- improve quality of life
- support climate resilience and the transition to net zero carbon emissions by 2050

In fulfilling our purpose and objectives, we:

- set a long-term agenda - identifying the UK’s major economic infrastructure needs, and the pathways to address them
- develop fresh approaches and ideas - basing our independent policy recommendations on rigorous analysis
- focus on driving change - building consensus on our policy recommendations, and monitoring government progress on their delivery

The Commission is an Executive Agency of HM Treasury. It is chaired by Sir John Armitt, with eight other Commissioners currently in post. The Commission is governed by a Charter and Framework Document.

The Commission’s core tasks are:

- Producing a National Infrastructure Assessment once every five years, setting out the Commission’s assessment of long-term infrastructure needs with recommendations to government on how to meet them. We recently published the second National Infrastructure Assessment.
- Carrying out in-depth studies - commissioned by the Chancellor - into the UK’s most pressing infrastructure challenges and making recommendations to government. Recent studies have covered surface water flooding, rail infrastructure for the North and Midlands and greenhouse gas removal technologies.
- Monitoring government’s progress in delivering infrastructure policy recommended by the NIC. We published our latest annual assessment in March 2023.

The Commission is based in London and Leeds.

**Job description**:
The National Infrastructure Commission is looking for two senior economists to lead its analysis of energy and transport strategy and associated infrastructure needs. These roles will build on the Commission’s reputation for robust and innovative analysis of strategic infrastructure issues, working closely with policy and strategy professionals within multidisciplinary project teams. Over the coming year, the roles are likely to focus on a range of highly topical issues: making electricity distribution networks fit for net zero, examining the role of connected and autonomous vehicles in growing the economy, and rail strategy.

The post holders will be required to provide impactful analysis and insights from energy and transport economics, including: leveraging existing evidence and cutting-edge academic thinking to support scoping and direction-setting of the Commission’s work; setting out plans to deliver new analysis and insights relevant to the Commission’s work; developing the highest quality analysis that integrates established and novel theories of change with robust research design and quantitative methods; taking charge of rigorous quality assurance processes for their own and others work; and collaborating with colleagues from other disciplines and backgrounds to ensure evidence is visible, relevant and impactful within the Commission’s energy and transport recommendations. The post holders could expect to make use of consultants and may directly manage contracts, they will participate in external engagement both to test and validate analysis and to promote past work by the Commission, and may get involved in report writing. As a small organisation, there is significant opportunity for economists to get exposure to senior officials, Commissioners and business leaders.

The post holders will likely manage at least one other analyst, who may be an apprentice working with the post holder or a more experienced analyst working on independent projects.

Economists at the Commission work closely with other analysts, policy and communications experts, and experts across government departments, academia and industry. As a small analytical team there is a focus on working together, sharing ideas and
