Assistant Technical Manager (London / Glasgow)

Ofgem works on behalf of energy consumers to ensure that every household and business in the UK can rely on a safe, affordable, and environmentally sustainable energy supply. We are playing a vital part in accelerating the transition to Net Zero and a carbon neutral energy system - a goal that everyone wants to achieve. Whatever your role, you’ll be playing your part in creating new energy solutions that are great for customers, and great for the environment.

Our Delivery & Schemes Directorate is our delivery arm and manages a number of high-profile environmental programmes. It’s a fast-paced and dynamic place to work, and you can expect to be involved in ground-breaking work. Our flexible working career opportunities are incredibly varied, so we are committed to recruiting talented people from a diverse range of professional and personal backgrounds – bringing different perspectives and experiences to our work.

Our Technical Team bring expert technical advice and support to the delivery of our schemes, such as the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) and Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). This could include advising on issues such as installation standards for energy efficiency measures and renewables; energy performance certificates and their use within schemes; and the ECO scoring methodology. You could also be asked to contribute to the development of policy and processes in relation to future schemes, ensuring they are well-informed, and up-to-date from a technical perspective. You can expect to work closely with colleagues across Ofgem to ensure that day-to-day management of schemes follow the technical guidelines that apply in each case.

It’s an opportunity that will suit someone with practical experience of building energy assessment methodologies (such as SAP), and who can offer a keen eye for detail and excellent technical writing skills. You should already have experience of working with legislation and implementing policy, and well-developed organisational skills will be of real value. And you should already be accustomed to analysing complex information to arrive at sound, evidence-based decisions.
