Economist – RAPID

Requirements of the role

We are looking for a Senior Associate Economist to support our Economics Hub currently within the RAPID and Environmental Planning directorate.

Joining the Economics Hub team, you will have the opportunity to support the RAPID and Major Projects teams in providing economic advice and recommendations to help shape the future of water regulation by contributing to the development of policy and regulatory frameworks for major water infrastructures.

The regulatory and commercial frameworks must evolve to accommodate a programme of strategic water supply infrastructure development at a scale that has not happened for more than half a century. Most projects will involve multiple water companies, and it is important that future frameworks deliver value for customers and the environment.

You will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with other teams across Ofwat, including the Price Review team in setting cost allowances and incentives. You will also work closely with other regulatory partners, with the opportunity to develop knowledge and experience outside of economics.
