21 Admin / Secretarial / PA jobs in Anchorage Hill, Richmondshire

Are you ambitious, intellectually curious and organised looking to fill a high-profile role leading on various aspects of energy policy, with a likely initial focus on nuclear power, and play a crucial part in delivering these ambitions and ensuring that projects represent value for money? If so, we'd love to hear from you!

About the Team

The Energy Team deals with some of the biggest economic opportunities and challenges facing the UK. This includes creating a 21st century net zero energy system, ensuring long term energy security for the nation, and keeping energy affordable and competitive.

We are at the heart of maintaining the UK’s energy security and decarbonising our energy supply. Our work centres around working with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and across Whitehall and industry to develop policy and remove barriers to deployment in ways that are both affordable and value for money.

About the Job

The key accountabilities of the post are:

1. Working closely with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero on multiple energy policy issues, with an initial focus on nuclear, considering wide ranges of options to meet Government ambitions.
2. Advising Treasury ministers and seniors on the technical and delivery consideration for nuclear technologies; funding and financing of nuclear projects; and industry and international engagement.
3. Working closely with Treasury teams to ensure spending, fiscal and other key considerations are reflected in discussions with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and other departments.
4. Maintaining effective relationships with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority, industry and other partners to understand and advise ministers on key decisions and solutions to policy problems that arise. This would include representing Treasury at external meetings and events.
5. Supporting other parts of the Energy team on specific projects outside of the nuclear portfolio, to deliver the Government’s energy and Net Zero policies.
