In return, you’ll join an expert, supportive and inclusive team environment, with hybrid working, an excellent pension and leave offering, and the opportunity to contribute to one of the most important public policy missions of our time.

You’ll be working alongside knowledgeable and committed colleagues, in a culture that values collaboration, innovation and impact. We have a critical purpose to strengthen cyber resilience across the energy system. Join us and play a leading role in combating emerging threats and ensuring the secure, ethical and effective operation of technologies that underpin the transition to Net Zero.
