Description

Security Performance and Reporting Lead - ESO:

Location: Wokingham, GB, RG41 5BN Warwick, GB, CV34 6DA
Division: Electricity System Operator
Job Type:
Requisition Number: Department:
Job Function: Information Technology
About the Role:

Great Britain's electricity system is undergoing an ambitious, exciting and vital transformation.

Together with industry, we are creating a cleaner, greener system, one that protects the planet and serves generations to come.

The Energy System Operator (ESO) are now looking for a Security Performance and Reporting Lead.

In this role, you will join a rapidly expanding & high-functioning team and your role, as part of the Governance team will be key to providing visibility, analysis and reporting of all performance aspects across Security.

The complexity of our environment means that wherever possible we will establish automated, dynamic data driven metrics and reporting that can provide valuable insight into the security landscape across ESO.

You will be responsible for overseeing the development, measurement, analysis, assurance and reporting of security performance metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) across the organisation.

This role can be based from Wokingham or Warwick, and we continue to offer hybrid working from office and home.

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 Future System Operator

In 2021, government and Ofgem jointly consulted on proposals for an expert, impartial Future System Operator (FSO) with responsibilities across both the electricity and gas systems, to drive progress towards net zero while maintaining energy security and minimising costs for consumers.

In October 2023, the Energy Act 2023 was passed, legislating for this Future System Operator to be created.

The ESO, including all of its existing roles, will be at the heart of the new Future System Operator.

We will be taking on additional roles across vectors and sectors to create an organisation with a whole energy system mindset; enabling us to identify solutions to our energy system that are more sustainable, secure, and affordable for all.

The FSO 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 in 2024.

The time to act on climate change is now.

As part of our team, 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.
