The Smart Energy Code (SEC), the "rulebook" for smart meters, underpins the smart meter rollout programme in Great Britain, and is opening up opportunities for the future direction of the market.

Gemserv has been providing the Smart Energy Code Administration and Secretariat (SECAS) service on the energy industry's behalf since 2013.

It's a complex, challenging and ground-breaking sector and would suit someone who wants to make a real difference in the transition to Net Zero.

We are looking for a Senior Consultant to join us who has good knowledge of the smart metering regulatory arrangements and excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

In your role as Senior Technical Consultant, you will be working in a dedicated team whose responsibility is, via the relevant committees, to ensure that the Smart Meter infrastructure is designed effectively, tested properly, and working correctly, as defined by the SEC.

You will provide support to the SEC Panel and its Technical Sub-Committees by shaping and providing technical input to the discussion; A sound understanding of the technical arrangements underpinning the Smart Metering infrastructure, as well as how it is governed, is therefore essential to the role.

There are five Technical Sub-Committees covering testing, governance, technical architecture, operations, communications, and device assurance.

Our Technical Sub-Committees comprise key industry stakeholders (SEC Parties) representing Energy Suppliers, Equipment Manufacturers, Network Operators, and the Data Communications Company (DCC) affording the role holder the opportunity to develop extensive relationships and insight into the industry.

You will also liaise with the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) and Ofgem, so will have the opportunity to shape and influence the direction of the wider smart metering programme.

You will play a lead role in supporting the technical architecture and device assurance committees, working alongside the Chairs of those meetings, to guide and shape meeting agendas, and the forward work plan and deliver high-quality papers and presentations to support the discussion.

In support of the SMDA Sub-Committee, you will also manage the contractual relationship with the third-party Test House, ensuring their effective delivery.

There is scope for the role to change over time, and for the Consultant to support other Technical Sub- Committees in line with their skills and as needs arise.

You will work with a small team of consultants who provide expertise to support the Technical Sub-Committees, and you will also engage with technical and Smart Energy Code experts outside the team.

The SECAS team itself comprises over 35 motivated individuals who pride themselves on quality of delivery while also fostering a collaborative and fun atmosphere.

We operate a hybrid working approach with a mix of office and remote working, with the team expected to be in Gemserv's London office for part of the week.

As a Senior Technical Consultant, your responsibilities will include:
Building and maintaining strong relationships with the Chairs of the sub-committees and SEC Panel;

Successful management of Sub-Committees, including developing high-quality inputs and outputs for meetings, active coordination of logs and trackers, and leading any projects commissioned.

Providing a leadership role for the Smart Meter Design Assurance (SMDA) Scheme including driving the agenda and forward planning for the Scheme, oversight of technical projects related to the Scheme, ensuring Scheme Documents are maintained, and effectively managing the delivery of external testing capability, both contractually and from a service perspective, ensuring any procurements or contract extensions are put in place.
