Position Description
The Renewable Electricity Directorate is a prominent and dynamic team, central to achieving the government's clean power objectives by 2030 and advancing towards net zero. Within this Directorate, the Renewables Delivery team is tasked with designing and implementing low-carbon support mechanisms, facilitating the integration of renewable energy into the broader electricity framework, and formulating supply chain policies.
This role will focus on shaping the future of the government’s primary renewables support initiative, Contracts for Difference, which serves as the key instrument to achieve our ambitious renewable energy goals. Additionally, the role involves exploring innovative mechanisms to expedite the deployment of renewable energy, ensuring that consumers benefit from these advancements.
The team fosters a strong culture of collaboration and prioritizes learning and development, providing an excellent environment for the successful candidate to advance their career while tackling a variety of policy challenges.

We encourage part-time and flexible working arrangements at all levels and welcome applications from individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
Key Responsibilities:
The successful candidate will be expected to adapt to the evolving priorities of the new government. Responsibilities may include:

Essential:
- A critical thinking ability, attention to detail, and experience in problem-solving, providing well-supported advice to senior management.
- Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build relationships across teams and organizational boundaries.
- Self-motivation, the capacity to work efficiently under pressure, and effective prioritization skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts clearly and concisely to senior stakeholders.
- Comfort in working on intricate topics alongside subject matter experts.
Desirable:
- Familiarity with the challenges facing the UK electricity system is advantageous but not essential, as on-the-job training will be provided.
Behaviors:
During the selection process, candidates will be assessed against the following behaviors:
- Making Effective Decisions
- Communicating and Influencing
- Seeing the Big Picture
- Working Together
Evidence of the following behaviors is required on your application form:
- Making Effective Decisions

Benefits:
In addition to a competitive salary, the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero contributes significantly towards your membership in the Civil Service Defined Benefit Pension scheme.
The Department offers a comprehensive range of benefits, including:
- A flexible working culture, encompassing job sharing, remote work, and compressed hours.
- Automatic enrollment in the pension scheme, with an average employer contribution of 27%.
