Job description:

The energy market situation in recent months is unprecedented.

The record increase and volatility in global gas prices has put the energy market under severe strain, and is putting upward pressure on customers' energy bills.

Now more than ever we need to go further and faster in pursuing the country's climate goals and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels to protect ourselves from similar future price shocks.

Such challenging times require bold action.

We are looking for people to meet the challenges we face head-on, and help us deliver a greener, fairer energy system.

Recent events in the energy market revealed that energy suppliers too often had insufficient capital to manage the business of supply and had unsustainable business models.

The impact of supplier failures is often borne by consumers who incur higher bills as a result of the failure.

Your role will be to protect consumers through compliance or enforcement work, by assessing suppliers' business models, determining if they are susceptible to failure and devising intervention strategies to ensure suppliers put themselves on a more sustainable footing.

Enjoys developing new skills, capabilities and expertise and being engaged across a broad range of diverse activities, including stakeholder engagement, analysis, policy development and project management.
