Job description

Job title Energy System Modeller

Location Belfast

Reporting to Network planning lead

Reason for the role As a TSO, responsibility for ensuring that its network is capable of meeting the current and future needs of NI consumers. As demand for gas in Northern Ireland has grown over the years, the network has become increasingly tight. With the imminent conversion from coal to gas of a large power station, this is expected to put even more stress on the network. As the energy transition gathers momentum, there will also be alternative sources of gas, for example biomethane and hydrogen, as well as changes in demand levels.

The electrification of transport, for example, will mean that electricity demand increases substantially, and while some of this increase will be met by renewable electricity, there will likely need to be an increase in gas-fired generation to meet the demand when it is not windy. This could mean that demand on the gas network increases further. There is an open policy question around thinking on the energy transition and security of supply, ensuring decision-making is grounded in evidence and actions taken are in the interest of Northern Ireland’s energy consumers. You will be responsible for developing a long-term model of the Northern Ireland energy system, including its interaction with the wider environment, such as the agricultural and transport sectors.

You will work collaboratively with policy and engineering colleagues both within the company and in key external stakeholder organisations to develop credible future scenarios for the NI gas network.

Essential criteria
- At least three years’ demonstrable experience of energy system modelling or modelling of other complex interrelated systems. This could be either techno-economic modelling and/or technical modelling achieved in either an industry environment or in a post-graduate academic or research context.
- Experience of writing technical reports or papers
- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office, in particular MS Excel 4. Able to demonstrate the following core competencies:

- Ability to think innovatively and identify and implement new solutions to problems, including clarifying ambiguous problems.
- Ability to work collaboratively with others, including those with complementary skills and expertise, and sharing knowledge and skills with others.
- Ability to deliver high quality outputs, paying close attention to detail d. Good organisational skills and an ability to manage and prioritise your own workload effectively
- Excellent communication skills, both written and oral, and an ability to effectively convey complex technical information to a non-expert audience
- Demonstrates professional integrity in their actions

Desirable criteria

An understanding of economic decision-making analysis, for example cost-benefit analysis, and experience of writing business cases for potential projects.

Experience of hydraulic modelling of gas networks

Knowledge of Python and SQL programming languages, experience with Python for Power System Analysis (PyPSA) would be particularly valuable

Experience of analysing and assessing environmental or decarbonisation policies Understanding of the NI gas and/or electricity markets

Familiarity with Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

- Annual holidays
- Attractive salary
