The Role
We are looking for passionate and high performing individuals who enjoy working on challenging projects to join us to help deliver a range of interesting and rewarding projects, particularly in the area of electricity network innovation.
Ideally, applicants should have a strong background in Power Networks with experience in either power systems analysis, scripting in a related language such as Python, electricity network regulation, cost benefit analysis or management and delivery of network innovation projects.
