Our work spans all key areas of low carbon energy: transport, built environment, industry and CCUS, low carbon fuels and chemicals, hydrogen and fuel cells, heat and power networks and smart energy systems. We pride ourselves on the strength of our analysis; we work closely with our clients, aiming to exceed their expectations and solve the challenges of climate change together.Within the Low Carbon Solutions team, **the software group** specialises in techno-economic and optimisation modelling of decarbonisation scenarios across a range of sectors and spatial granularities, including electricity and heat networks, heavy industry, transport, and the built environment. Our software group is responsible for the delivery of key projects and products via the design, development and maintenance of multiple scenario and decision-support software and modelling solutions. Key examples include:**Heat Networks Planning**: we develop, maintain and run The National Zoning Model – UK Government’s specialist software for targeting the deployment of low-carbon heat networks based on optimising their economic impact. This exciting, high-impact project includes a model of every building and road in the country, and uses complex MILP to identify the areas within all towns and cities in which heat networks represent the least-cost pathway to decarbonising heat. The project is at a critical phase: users are beginning to apply the outputs to real-world heat network planning activities. In parallel, there is an extensive, ongoing programme of work to add both user-facing and energy system modelling features to the application. The application and its dependencies use the following technology stack: Clojure (a functional programming language based on LISP and hosted on the JVM), ClojureScript (frontend), Bash, PostGIS, SCIP for MILP, and Nix deployed on DigitalOcean cloud infrastructure. **Electricity Network Load forecasting:** we develop and maintain a range of tools for predicting the impact of the deployment of low-carbon technologies on electricity distribution network infrastructure. This includes a range of models and web-based applications built using the following technologies: Python, Django, Javascript, SQL, Bash, Docker/Podman, deployed on Azure cloud infrastructure (VMs, Blob, Batch).We are a group of highly intelligent, friendly and passionate people who are driven by our shared goal of decarbonising the energy system. We work on a range of decarbonisation challenges, and our solutions have real-world impacts. We are growing rapidly due to our strong reputation and forward-thinking approach; you will have the chance to progress in your career on a merit basis, developing your software skills on complex, real-world energy system problems.**Who we are looking for**ERM Low Carbon Solutions is seeking a Senior Developer to join our software team and work primarily (but not exclusively) on the National Zoning Model.
