Why this role matters

The decisions we make today will shape the reliability, resilience, and efficiency of the energy network for years to come.

In this role, you'll help turn asset strategies into well-defined investment opportunities that deliver value, meet regulatory requirements and support long-term business objectives. By developing data-driven investment cases and supporting major programme delivery, you'll play an important part in ensuring we invest in the right projects, at the right time, to meet the needs of customers and the energy system of the future.
