Summary

Do you want to be part of ensuring that the UK is equipped to meet its long-term infrastructure needs? Do you enjoy solving complex problems?

The National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) is looking for a Policy Adviser to support the development of the UK’s long term infrastructure strategy. There will be an opportunity to work on projects across energy, transport, water and wastewater, solid waste, flood risk management and digital communications. The
Commission is currently developing its workplan after publication of the Second National Infrastructure

This is an opportunity to work creatively and rigorously on some of the most pressing issues for UK infrastructure, and independent from government policy, over the long-term, shaping how these sectors will support our society, environment, and economy into the future.

This is an exciting time to work at the Commission as it develops its forward workplan, building on the
Second National Infrastructure Assessment.

About the NIC

By joining us, you’ll play a key role in delivering independent advice to government on the UK’s long-term infrastructure needs. We do this to help support sustainable economic growth across the whole of the UK, improve competitiveness, support climate resilience and the transition to net zero, and ultimately improve the quality of life of UK citizens.

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, and
- Focus on driving change - building consensus on our policy recommendations, and monitoring government progress on their delivery.

Our core responsibilities include:

- 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.
- Carrying out in-depth studies into the UK’s most pressing infrastructure challenges and making recommendations to government, and monitoring the Government’s progress in delivering infrastructure policy and programmes recommended by the NIC and influencing the policy debate.

We are a small, friendly organisation where policy experts, economists and analysts work together intensively in project teams, rather than silos. We work to support the Commissioners to push for action on and endorse our recommendations and to monitor government’s progress in implementing them. For more information, see The Commission Way.

The Secretariat is led by our Chief Executive, supported by a Senior Management Team, comprising the
Chief Economist, Directors of Policy and Chief Operating Officer. The Commission is chaired by Sir John
Armitt, with nine other Commissioners at present.

The NIC’s corporate plan sets out how we deliver our remit and objectives.

We are looking for a policy professional to join us as a Policy Adviser. This role will be critical in supporting the Commission in understanding and finding solutions to potential challenges as it works to address the
UK’s infrastructure challenges.

There will be an opportunity to work on projects on one or more of energy, transport, water and wastewater, waste, flood risk management and digital communications. Potential future projects include considering new transport infrastructure requirements and the impact technology could have on the transport system, developing recommendations to ensure the energy network is net zero ready, and projects to further strengthen the recommendations set out in the Commission’s Second National
Infrastructure Assessment.

The role will involve building effective working relationships with others including government departments, consultants, academics, engineers and a wide range of other interest groups. The role will entail a blend of policy development work, project and stakeholder management, research and strategic thinking and require experience of developing and delivering policy projects.
