Job Description
Would you like to join a critical programme for addressing climate change? In 2019, the UK became the first major economy in the world to legislate to have “net zero” carbon emissions by 2050.
Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) can play a crucial role in reaching net zero. It can drive cleaner, sustainable growth, transforming our industrial heartlands and unlocking new jobs and innovative businesses.
We have committed to delivering the first two CCUS Clusters by the mid-2020s and have announced HyNet and the East Coast Cluster as the Track-1 Clusters.
The Cluster Teams oversee the delivery of the HyNet and ECC Clusters, ensuring that the final deals deliver value for money and facilitate the establishment of a self-sustaining carbon capture industry.
Within these teams, we are looking for someone to drive delivery, support engagement with industry, manage schedule and risks, and work across multiple teams engaged in negotiations.
