    Description

    About the role

    If you are passionate about net zero, enthusiastic about making a real difference to society and enjoy working in a talented and collaborative environment then please consider applying for a role with the Electricity System Operator (ESO) as it transforms to become the National Energy System Operator (NESO) for GB. NESO is an independent and expert whole energy organisation on a mission to accelerate our energy transition.

    The Resilience and Emergency Management (REM) role will be a significant and core activity within NESO. It will be focused on understanding and planning system resilience across electricity and gas and the interactions between them. The key purpose of this will be to provide whole system coordination and analysis, allowing delivery of independent, expert advice and information to government and the regulator, alongside strategic coordination and preparation for emergencies across energy vectors. Deliverables of this role are intended to be scaled up over time, and successful candidates will help to shape what the Resilience and Emergency Management Directorate will deliver.

    Within REM we are looking to build a hub of technical expertise, with deep knowledge across energy vectors, that will then support across the breadth of REM activities. The goal of this team is to ensure robust technical underpinning and competence contribute to the functions' thought leadership and delivery of key outputs. The transformation to NESO will include changes to our position in industry and our interactions with government, the regulator, and wider industry participants. Building specific technical expertise will be critical to demonstrating NESO's capability and credibility as an independent, expert organisation delivering a function that doesn't exist today.

    This role can be based from Wokingham, Warwick or Glasgow, and we continue to from office and home. We are open to full time and part time applicants, as well as flexible working arrangements.

    About us

    As Great Britain's electricity system operator (ESO), we sit at the heart of the electricity system, using our outstanding engineering and commercial expertise to balance electricity supply and demand. Ultimately, we keep the electricity flowing directly to where it's needed, second by second.

    Becoming the National Energy System Operator

    As you may have seen the Government and Ofgem have asked the ESO to take on new roles and responsibilities

    Becoming NESO is a critical step to help deliver a reliable and clean energy transition for all. The ESO, including all of its existing roles, will be at the heart of the new National Energy System Operator, taking on additional roles with a whole energy system mindset to drive progress towards net zero while maintaining energy security and minimising costs for consumers.

    The new organisation will be set up as a public corporation with operational independence from government – bringing parties together to support optimised decision making and action. As now, it will be licenced and regulated by Ofgem through price control agreements. It is anticipated that the new organisation will be up and running by or in 2024.

    The time to act on climate change is now. , you won't just be touching the lives of almost everyone in Great Britain – you'll be shaping the way we use and consume energy for generations to come.

    Key Accountabilities

  • Support the delivery of key REM initiatives through the provision of deep technical subject matter expertise in electricity distribution in the UK.
  • A successful applicant will be acting as a subject matter lead across REM in electricity distribution, and be able to credibly interact with both working level and senior internal and external stakeholders.
  • The ability to translate subject matter expertise in electricity distribution into critical questions and problem solving across the whole energy sector in order to drive improvements and assess risk.
  • Enable the upskilling of existing, wider ESO teams in delivering a whole energy system approach to energy resilience by bringing electricity distribution expertise to organisational thinking.
  • Strong working knowledge of electricity distribution network assets, operations and emergency response activities.

    • About you

  • Ability to channel knowledge and expertise into the demands of individual project goals, and acknowledge other vectors or parameters where relevant
  • Ability to assemble complex ideas, issues, and observations into clear and simple explanations.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder skills - ability to communicate effectively within the organisation and with government and regulators, other external bodies, and potential partners.

    • What you'll get
