Climate Resilience Expert
Ofgem
The energy regulator for Great Britain, https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/about-us/working-ofgem
Requirements of the role
Britain’s energy system is not prepared for the increasing challenges associated with climate change, and the way we plan for resilience today will determine how secure and sustainable our future will be. Ofgem is looking for a Climate Resilience Expert to drive the urgent shift in how the energy sector understands, prepares for and responds to a changing climate.
Ofgem is Great Britain’s independent energy regulator. We’re at the forefront of change across the energy sector, driving toward Net Zero whilst protecting energy consumers, especially vulnerable people.
We’re offering a permanent opportunity for an experienced climate resilience or climate science professional to join our Climate Resilience Strategy team, helping shape and implement approaches that ensure our energy system remains robust in the face of escalating climate impacts.
You’ll operate at the cutting edge of the science-policy interface, transforming research, evidence and data into practical approaches that inform how Britain’s energy networks adapt to extreme weather and long-term climatic change. This role offers rare scope for innovation and the chance to contribute to work that directly improves the energy systems that millions of people depend on.
Collaborating across government, industry and academia and engaging stakeholders from DESNZ and Defra to network operators, system planners and leading climate think tanks, you will interrogate evidence, challenge assumptions, distil complex insights and secure buy-in.
Job Description
This is a role for someone who thrives in complexity, brings intellectual curiosity, and is motivated by delivering tangible, real-world impact. You’ll have strong climate adaptation or resilience expertise, exceptional analytical capability, and the confidence to navigate and influence multi-disciplinary environments. You’ll be adept at synthesising qualitative and quantitative data, aligning diverse perspectives, managing competing priorities and maintaining momentum in a fast-moving policy environment.
You’ll join a supportive and flexible organisation that values learning, development and two-way knowledge exchange, and where there are opportunities to grow professionally and operate at the interface of science and policy, undertaking truly innovative work.
We have a critical purpose to build an energy system that is resilient, adaptive and capable of withstanding the climate risks of today and the future. Join us and help shape the policies and regulatory choices that will underpin Britain’s climate-resilient transition.
