**Job summary**:
As the regulatory authority for Great Britain's energy industry, Ofgem is committed to ensuring a safe, secure, and sustainable energy supply for British households and businesses.

Working on behalf of energy consumers, Ofgem strives to guarantee a reliable, affordable, and environmentally sustainable energy supply for every household and business in the UK. We play a crucial role in expediting the transition to Net Zero and a carbon-neutral energy system - a goal shared by all.

Join Ofgem's impactful Large Transmission Project Delivery Team, where you'll provide advice and expertise as the internal expert. Your role involves crucial advice on large project estimates, project management, and delivery strategies, as well as making funding recommendations to optimise efficiency for consumers.

Collaborate closely with the Network Directorate to ensure incentives and obligations align for a well-functioning connections policy. Engage with various teams - engineering, legal, enforcement, and external communications - to achieve common goals in this high-profile realm.

As a key player, engage with Transmission Owners and the Electricity System Operator, taking proactive ownership of assigned areas. Your responsibilities include providing inclusive corporate leadership, sharing expertise, and supporting development aligned with Ofgem values.

In this dynamic role, you'll be the internal expert on contracts, procurement, risk management, indirect and direct costs, and program delivery. Coordinate with Team Heads to prioritise and deliver work efficiently, covering all aspects of reform. Prepare briefing materials for key stakeholders, including ExCo, the Board, DESNZ, and others.

Take proactive ownership of deliverables, ensuring timely and high-quality project management. Support the development of a high-performing team through effective resource management and professional development.

Be a Professional Development Lead (PDL) for other experts, offering guidance on personal and professional development in line with professional standards and Ofgem's Diversity and Inclusion commitments. Enable the development of a high-performing team by providing ongoing coaching and advice, as well as supporting colleagues pursuing professional qualifications.

Build strong internal relationships with Workstream and Portfolio Managers, Analysts, Heads of Professions, and other stakeholders. Externally, engage with government departments, licensees, regulators, industry experts, and more.

This role requires someone who can see the big picture, communicate effectively, make decisions, and provide leadership. If you're ready to make a significant impact in the energy sector, join us at Ofgem.

Ofgem values inclusion, celebrating diverse voices and experiences. We encourage different perspectives and experiences in our work, making everyone welcome in our inclusive workplace where employees can bring their authentic selves to work.
