Strategic Leadership – Lead Cadent’s approach to energy system planning, ensuring gas networks are integrated into whole-system solutions.
Industry Influence – Shape national and regional planning frameworks through engagement with key bodies including NESO, Ofgem and government.
Future Energy Focus – Define the role of hydrogen, biomethane, hybrid heat and flexibility within Net Zero pathways.
Insight & Scenario Planning – Lead the use of advanced analytics, modelling and scenarios to inform strategic decisions under uncertainty.
Stakeholder Engagement – Build trusted relationships with senior internal and external stakeholders to influence complex decision making.
Regulatory & Investment Impact – Translate system planning outputs into clear implications for asset strategy, investment planning and regulatory submissions.
Innovation & Capability Building – Develop a high-performing team and champion new approaches to energy system planning.

What you’ll bring:

Energy System Planning Expertise – Extensive experience in system planning, strategic network planning or scenario development within a regulated environment.
Net Zero & Whole-System Insight – Strong understanding of decarbonisation pathways and the role of gas networks in future energy systems.
Analytical & Strategic Thinking – Ability to translate complex system analysis into clear, actionable insights for senior stakeholders.
Leadership Capability – Proven ability to lead teams, influence at senior level and foster high performance and innovation.
Stakeholder Influence – Experience shaping policy, regulatory frameworks or industry-wide initiatives.
Technical & Digital Awareness – Knowledge of advanced analytics, modelling or AI-enabled tools to support planning and decision making.
Qualifications – Degree-level qualification or equivalent experience in energy systems, engineering, economics or a related field.
