We are seeking a skilled Local System Planning Engineer to join our Energy Systems team. As a key member of our team, you will play a crucial role in shaping the electricity distribution network of the future and contributing to our goal of achieving net zero.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Maximising the value from our investment as a result of engagement and supporting the production of Local Area Energy Plans (LAEPs)
  • Ensuring effective two-way flow of data and intelligence on regional decarbonisation with parties such as local authorities, housing authorities and mass Low Carbon Technology (LCT) installers
  • Checking mutual compatibility of Local Authority and Northern Powergrid energy forecasts and explaining differences
  • Using local intelligence on regional decarbonisation projects to enhance the company's investment forecasts and delivery
  • Using external dialogue to guide the enhancements in data and open analytics we provide

We offer a competitive salary of £51,376 to £70,257 (dependent on experience), as well as great benefits such as enrolment into our double-matched pension scheme, 25 days holiday (rising with service) plus bank holidays, excellent opportunities for career growth, and agile working arrangements.
