Imagine a future where you help shape the regulatory solutions that enable offshore wind and the green transition of the energy system

Join us in this role where you'll use energy economic analysis to develop clear regulatory positions on electricity markets, offshore wind, and the energy system. You'll turn complex questions into practical recommendations and communicate your insights to colleagues, policymakers, and industry stakeholders.

You'll play an important role in

  • performing energy economic and regulatory analyses of electricity markets, offshore wind, and the wider energy system
  • identifying the right questions, evaluating complex evidence, and developing clear recommendations and strong narratives
  • developing regulatory positions and solutions for the interface between offshore wind, the grid, and electricity markets
  • presenting analytical findings and recommendations clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences
  • engaging and building relationships with internal and external stakeholders

To succeed in the role, you

  • have a completed degree in economics, engineering, or a related field
  • have experience with regulatory analysis and/or regulation of the energy sector
  • are motivated by energy economic analysis and have knowledge of the energy system, with electricity market knowledge being an advantage

  • enjoy building networks and working with a broad range of internal and external stakeholders
  • collaborate openly, share your knowledge, and are ready to support colleagues across topics when priorities change.
