    Default job background
    Description

    The energy sector is considered one of Scotland's most important industries. ( Jan 2023
    -Scotland's Energy Strategy and Just Transition Plan: Ministerial statement     ) and is one of
    the fastest growing sectors in which 90% of the UK energy sector is registered in Scotland. 79%
    of Scotland's Greenhouse Gas Emissions are from the energy system (generation, distribution,
    and use).

    This post has a key role ensuring SEPA meets its mandatory duties in respect to Energy, making
    a significant contribution to SEPA's commitment to climate change and net zero Corporate Plan
    and AOP – 'Scotland is thriving in a low carbon world'.

    The regulation of the energy sector sits across multiple regulatory regimes and controls. A key
    role of this post is to ensure cross function working and maintain a strategic view across
    allinterconnected areas of energy regulation and net zero ambitions in different teams,
    ensuring no unintended environmental or regulatory consequences in our regulatory and policy
    influencing role.

    This post provides specialist energy advice and support to regulatory and planning teams who
    are responsible for ensuring existing and future energy sector developments minimise impact on
    the environment and communities. SEPA's environmental regulation of the whole 'energy system'
    (generation, distribution, and use) and preparation for the regulation of new and innovative
    energy technologies will significantly increase as new developments across the whole energy
    system come forward in response to Scottish Governmentrenewable energy targets (e.g. which
    will see triple the amount of electricity generation alone by 2030, and a further double of the
    2030 generation target, by 2045).

    Through this role we have an influential role with the Energy teams in the Scottish Government
    and UK Governments on devolved and reserved energy issues.

    Key policy areas that this post will lead on, includes:

    • Operational Energy infrastructure development including planning and permitting support for
      onshore and offshore wind, heat network, energy from waste, hydrogen, unconventional and
      conventional oil and gas, geothermal, energy efficiency, distribution, transmission, storage,
      hydropower, gas storage and bioenergy)
    • Statutory Planning lead for all energy system (generation, distribution, use) developments
      (Strategic, local, and environmental assessment).
    • Liaison with agencies such as Heads of Planning, Scottish enterprise agencies, Ofgem, Zero
      Waste Scotland and the Carbon Trust
    • Liaison, co-ordination and advice to SEPA teams and projects that add value to SEPA's
      regulatory role – Grangemouth Regulatory Hub, place based projects, Energy Saving Opportunities
      Scheme and Pollution Prevention and Control.

    This post will have a critical contribution to make on Scottish Government's ambitions and
    SEPA's future role in the regulation of Scotland's fast growing energy sector, industrial
    decarbonisation and Greenhouse Gas regulations.

    The post holder will also be expected to contribute to the wider work of the Air Quality and
    Energy Unit, providing support to other team members on a diverse range of policy and technical
    areas.

    Closing date: 24 April 2024.
