Assistant Economist

Requirements of the role

ORR’s Rail Economics team works on a wide range of economic and policy issues, concerned both with leading development of rail policy and providing specialist advice. The Rail Economics team is part of the Economics, Finance and Markets directorate, and works closely with the Regulatory Finance team which carries out financial analysis of rail markets.

Join our Rail Economics team and contribute to shaping the future of the UK’s railway system. As an Assistant Economist, you will support the team in delivering high-quality economic analysis that influences decision-making and policy development in UK rail regulation. This role offers an exciting opportunity to develop your skills and gain experience in a dynamic and impactful environment.

It’s an exciting time to join the team as you will have the opportunity to contribute to the design of the emerging regulatory framework for a reformed rail industry following the creation of Great British Railways, which will bring together ‘track and train’ into one body.

At ORR we have adopted hybrid working and are currently expected to work from a workplace location for a minimum of two days per week or 40%.
