The UK has set out its ambition to be net zero by 2050 and the energy industry is responding – together we are building a cleaner, greener Britain.
As we move from the Electricity System Operator (ESO) to National Energy System Operator (NESO), we will have an exciting opportunity to consume new data types across the energy industry which is becoming more complex and is increasingly reliant on advanced analytics and data-driven insights to optimise outcomes for the UK’s energy consumers.
Our Data Vision is to utilise the power of data and innovation, becoming a Digital Leader and driving collaborative digitalisation of the whole energy system with our Data Mission of providing internal and external stakeholders with trusted data, which is centrally held, easy to understand and integrated with our data products and services. Allowing our business and industry the means to innovate and exploit this data to create new tools and insights that will enable decarbonisation.
Reporting into the Data Governance Senior Manager, this role will be responsible for the mobilisation and implementation of data management capabilities including data catalogue, data quality, master & reference data management etc. Your passion for data management and enthusiasm for improving quality will help create the foundations needed for NESO to build on and achieve our ambitious goals, ensuring we keep the lights on for Great Britain’s electricity consumers and forge the path to a sustainable future for everyone.
This role is based in Warwick, and we continue to offer hybrid working from office and home.
If this position interests you and you don't meet all the criteria, we would encourage you to apply.
Our mission is to facilitate the decarbonisation of Great Britain’s energy network and ensure the delivery of reliable, affordable, and green electricity for consumers. We work with stakeholders across the whole energy industry to plan for future network needs, using insight to make sure we can balance the system today and find opportunities to transform the way it operates tomorrow.
Becoming the Future System Operator
In 2021, government and Ofgem jointly consulted on proposals for an expert, impartial Future System Operator (FSO) with responsibilities across both the electricity and gas systems, to drive progress towards net zero while maintaining energy security and minimising costs for consumers. In October 2023, the Energy Act 2023 was passed, legislating for this Future System Operator to be created.
The ESO, including all of its existing roles, will be at the heart of the new Future System Operator. We will be taking on additional roles across vectors and sectors to create an organisation with a whole energy system mindset; enabling us to identify solutions to our energy system that are more sustainable, secure, and affordable for all.
The FSO will be set up as a public corporation with operational independence from government – bringing parties together to support optimised decision making and action. As now, it will be licenced and regulated by Ofgem through price control agreements. It is anticipated that the new organisation will be up and running in 2024.
The time to act on climate change is now. As part of our team, you won’t just be touching the lives of almost everyone in Great Britain – you’ll be shaping the way we use and consume energy for generations to come.
What we do isn’t just important – it’s essential. That’s why we look to recruit experts in their field. In this case, we’re looking for someone who:
Further desirable qualities include:
A competitive salary between £56,000 – £80,000 – dependent on experience and capability.
As well as your base salary, you will receive a bonus based on company performance, 26 days annual leave as standard and a competitive contributory pension scheme where we will double match your contribution to a maximum company contribution of 12%.
As we work towards creating a cleaner, greener, and more affordable future for all, we also work towards creating a place for our teammates to belong, with professional and personal growth and positive well-being.
This role closes on 12/03/2024 at 23:59, however we encourage candidates to submit their application as early as possible and not wait until the published closing date as this can vary.
We work towards the highest standards in everything we do, including how we support, value and develop our people. Our aim is to encourage and support employees to thrive and be the best they can be. We celebrate the difference people can bring into our organisation, and welcome and encourage applicants with diverse experiences and backgrounds, and offer flexible and tailored support, at home and in the office.
We're committed to building a workforce that represents the communities we serve, and a working environment in which each individual feels valued, respected, fairly treated, and able to reach their full potential.
