Principal Policy Expert (Gas System Charging)

We’re offering a permanent opportunity within our Gas Systems Management and Operations team, where you’ll take on a high-profile role focused on how gas network charges are designed, applied and reformed across the energy transition.

This is an area of work that sits at the centre of some of the biggest challenges facing the gas sector, from declining fossil gas consumption and ageing infrastructure through to the development of low-carbon gases such as hydrogen and biomethane. Your work will contribute to how charging frameworks evolve to support these changes whilst continuing to protect consumers and maintain resilience across the system.

You’ll also have the opportunity to work on high-profile and nationally significant programmes, applying your expertise to complex and evolving regulatory challenges while contributing to wider strategic thinking across Ofgem.

You’ll bring prior experience in economic regulation, alongside knowledge of Gas System Charging and the ability to analyse complex issues, produce robust recommendations and communicate technical information clearly to a wide range of audiences. Strong organisational and collaboration skills will also be essential, with the ability to manage competing priorities and build effective relationships across teams and stakeholders.

In return, you’ll have the chance to have a direct and positive impact on consumers and the future operation of Great Britain’s gas system. You’ll discover a collaborative and supportive team environment and will have the opportunity to deepen your expertise, influence major policy discussions and contribute to some of the most important challenges facing the energy sector.

We have a critical purpose to ensure the energy system works in the interests of consumers, now and in the future. Join us and help shape how gas systems adapt to the challenges of the energy transition.
