We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Strategic Energy Planner to join our team in London or East Anglia. As a key member of our Regional Energy Planning team, you will play a critical role in developing and implementing regional energy strategic plans that drive whole energy considerations across all energy vectors.
With a strong background in energy project development lifecycles and the 'whole energy' system, you will have advanced experience in at least one of the energy vectors, including gas and/or electricity networks, heat decarbonisation, hydrogen, transport decarbonisation, etc. Your experience of working with or within Local Authorities and/or energy distribution companies, ideally relevant to the region you seek to work within, will be highly valued.
You will be responsible for developing, consulting, and implementing relevant parts of the Regional Energy Strategic Plan (RESP) methodology to your region, as well as being the subject matter expert in understanding specific aspects of your region's energy system planning and the interfaces with both internal NESO and external stakeholders.
Key responsibilities will include defining and leading on regional energy strategic planning work packages, working in a matrix style structure to ensure work is coordinated with other regional and central RESP teams, and representing NESO's regional energy planning function at strategic level and deputising for the regional manager.
You will engage with specific key regional stakeholders within local government, gas and electricity networks, other local actors, and whole energy system stakeholders to understand their views and requirements to ensure that RESP delivers value. You will also design, support, and run workshops and engagement activity with the Regional Board, working groups, and other regional stakeholders to progress the RESP.
As a Strategic Energy Planner, you will produce and deliver clear, concise, short reports and slide packs in progressing the RESP, being able to clearly communicate and propose changes where needed to key assumptions. You will create new ways to analyse and present problems and potential solutions, sometimes building on the work and experience of others to quickly develop sufficient understanding of unfamiliar topics in developing the RESP.
About YouTo be successful in this role, you will have a strong background in energy project development lifecycles and the 'whole energy' system, with advanced experience in at least one of the energy vectors. You will also have experience of working with or within Local Authorities and/or energy distribution companies, ideally relevant to the region you seek to work within.
You will be able to translate complex and technical information into easily understandable messaging for non-technical audiences, in both reports and presentations. You will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with experience of communicating with, and influencing, internal and external stakeholders at a range of levels.
You will also have an understanding of data and systems used in the energy distribution networks and/or in local energy planning, as well as project management, coordination, and planning skills to ensure that deadlines are met, governance is adhered to, stakeholders are effectively engaged, and high-quality process and outputs are achieved.
What We OfferWe offer a competitive salary between £52,000 - £63,000 per annum, dependent on experience and capability. As well as your base salary, you will receive a bonus based on company performance, 26 days annual leave as standard, and a competitive contributory pension scheme where we will double match your contribution to a maximum company contribution of 12%.
We are committed to building a workforce that represents the communities we serve, and a working environment in which each individual feels valued, respected, fairly treated, and able to reach their full potential. We offer full support and career-development resources to expand your skills, enhance your expertise, and maximise your potential along your career journey.
We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates. If you are passionate about energy planning and want to make a difference, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
