Position Details
The Smart Metering Implementation Programme (SMIP) is a significant initiative that spans both government and industry, transitioning traditional gas and electricity meters to smart meters in homes and small businesses throughout Great Britain. Smart meters are essential for achieving net zero emissions, facilitating the use of renewable energy, and decreasing dependence on imported fossil fuels. They also enhance the energy experience for millions of consumers by providing actionable insights into energy consumption, eliminating manual meter readings, reducing billing disputes, and improving pre-payment services.
This position is situated within the Priority Projects Team, a newly formed group within SMIP that aids senior leadership and the broader program in executing key strategic initiatives. Our team is small yet highly influential, composed of policy and strategy advisors who are integral to the Programme’s Strategy and Business Management Team, reporting directly to the Programme Director & SRO. We manage a diverse portfolio of medium to long-term projects, address emerging strategic challenges, and assist teams under immediate pressure. Our flexible approach, strong collaborative relationships, and commitment to continuous improvement enable us to fulfill our objectives effectively.
The successful candidate will play a vital role in enhancing the team’s capacity and capabilities as our project portfolio grows. You will have the opportunity to lead cross-cutting policy development and execution, collaborate closely with senior leadership to define priorities, and contribute to shaping the strategic direction of the Programme.
We are engaged in a complex and exciting agenda, requiring a diverse skill set to achieve our goals. We prioritize work-life balance and advocate for flexible working arrangements.
Key Responsibilities
- Contributing significantly to the Programme Transition Team, which is responsible for SMIP’s business transformation planning and the eventual transition of enduring functions to external governance.
- Leading and delivering a diverse range of strategic projects across the Programme.
- Assisting senior leadership with emerging challenges and issues.
- Collaborating with the Head of Strategy and Business Management to maintain an overview of strategic priorities and projects, including regular horizon scanning with senior leadership.
- Providing support to teams facing immediate pressures.
- Managing tasks and responsibilities within project teams.
Skills and Experience
This role requires exceptional organizational skills, sound judgment, a focus on problem-solving, and the ability to foresee the implications of issues on SMIP leadership, the Strategy and Business Management team, and the broader Programme. You will need outstanding written and verbal communication skills, capable of tailoring messages for diverse audiences and constructing compelling arguments with clear objectives. The ideal candidate will be a collaborative team player, adept at building strong working relationships across a wide range of internal and external stakeholders at all levels of seniority to achieve results.
Behaviors
We will evaluate candidates based on the following behaviors during the selection process:
- Effective Communication and Influence
- Delivering Results Promptly
- Collaborative Teamwork
Benefits
In addition to a competitive salary of £33,635, the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero contributes £9,081 towards your membership in the Civil Service Defined Benefit Pension scheme.
The Department offers a comprehensive range of benefits, including:
- A culture of flexible working, encompassing job sharing, remote work, and compressed hours.
- Automatic enrollment in the pension scheme, with an average employer contribution of 27%.
- A minimum of 25 days of paid annual leave, increasing by one day per year up to a maximum of 30 days.
- A wide array of learning and professional development opportunities, which all staff are encouraged to pursue actively.
- Access to various retail, travel, and lifestyle employee discounts.
