  • Represent NESO's regional energy planning function at strategic level and deputise for the regional manager
  • 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
  • Design, support, and run workshops and engagement activity with the Regional Board, working groups, and other regional stakeholders to progress the RESP
  • Produce and deliver clear, concise, short reports and slide packs in progressing the RESP. Ensure that the key messages are relevant, clear, and pitched appropriately for the audience.
