Summary
The Environment Agency are fully committed to having an inclusive workforce to reflect the communities we serve. We don’t just talk about diversity; we seek it, embrace it, and live it, for the benefit of our staff, our communities, and our environment.
Are you passionate about industrial decarbonisation? Do you want to be at the forefront of work to support the UK’s transition to clean energy?
We are expanding our Energy Industries Decarbonisation Team and are seeking 2 Senior Advisors to lead our preparations for regulating new technologies emerging through the UK’s transition to Net Zero.
1 X Senior Advisor – Skills and Capabilities: Focussing on identifying and developing the technical capabilities, guidance, and tools needed to ensure we are ready to regulate future energy technologies.
1X Senior Advisor – Decarbonisation Strategy Manager: Leading the development of a decarbonisation strategy for the team, working with sector leads and policy teams to understand what is coming, where we need to prepare to regulate, and what action is required across the organisation.
Both roles will work closely and collaborate with the wider team to shape our regulatory approach and ensure we are well-placed to respond to the opportunities and risks presented by the energy transition.
These roles offer a unique opportunity to shape the future of regulation in a high-profile and fast-moving area.
You’ll have an inclusive incident management objective in your development plan. We’ll support you to find an incident role that suits your needs and circumstances, and appropriate training will be provided.
We use smart tools to stay connected and minimise travel, but some travel and overnight stays may occasionally be required
The team
The Energy Industries Decarbonisation Team prepares and supports delivery of Environment Agency duties that relate to industrial decarbonisation.
We’re a dispersed team and work with a range of internal teams, government bodies, partner regulators, industry and non-government stakeholders.
In the Environment and Business Directorate we inform and deliver the government's environmental objectives; using evidence, expertise, engagement, we influence policy and legislation, facilitate integrated delivery, build trust and secure resources to do more for the environment.
Experience/skills required
• Program/project management – ability to scope, plan, commission, track and deliver to a deadline with a focus on optimising outcomes.
• Excellent communication – ability to identify an audience, understand their needs and use engaging methods of communication to deliver a message.
• Regulatory knowledge – knowledge of environmental regulations and an understanding of how these protect people and the environment.
• Technical knowledge – industrial scale processes and standards, environmental controls, predictive assessment methods and mitigatory options. The ability to apply this to protect the environment via regulatory mechanisms.
• Ability to develop and maintain good relationships with internal and external customers
Ability to work effectively with people from different backgrounds and cultures and actively encourage others to consider diversity issues in their work.
Technical understanding is not essential requirement of the role for the Skills and Capability advisor
