We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

About Energy Systems We help customers navigate the complex transition to a decarbonized and more sustainable energy future. We do this by assuring that energy systems work safely and effectively, using solutions that are increasingly digital. We also help industries and governments to navigate the many complex, interrelated transitions taking place globally and regionally, in the energy industry. GB's electricity and gas networks face a tremendous challenge to deliver the network investments required to enable decarbonisation of heat, and connect large quantities of renewable energy production capacity at record pace. Against this background, the National Energy System Operator (NESO) - a new entity in the energy sector - is tasked with co-optimising gas and electricity network infrastructure planning and delivery. Our energy networks are pivotal to delivering the energy transition at the scale and pace required to realise Net Zero 2050, and to fulfil their role, they will need to overcome unprecedented techno-economic challenges under high policy and regulatory uncertainty. Energy Strategy Advisory combines deep expertise of renewable energy technologies, gas and electricity networks, energy markets, and business models to advise stakeholders in the energy transition. Our clients span the full energy value chain and include manufacturers, utilities, investors, regulators and governments. Our services involve techno-economic assessment, research and innovation, strategy and management consulting, as well as policy and regulatory advice. Our overall objective is to help the energy sector to develop viable and economic solutions to support the transition to a smart, flexible energy system as part of the route to Net Zero. ESA comprises the Power Grids & Markets team, with a primary focus on network planning and digitalisation of electricity networks, the Low Carbon Fuels team, with a primary focus of supporting decarbonisation of industrial users, and the Energy Systems Modelling and Green Energy Procurement teams. This role will be based in the Power Grids & Markets team, with opportunities to work across a number of exciting projects which combine the specialisms of ESA. DNV's Energy Strategy Advisory (ESA) team operates at the heart of this challenge, supporting clients across the energy supply chain. We are looking for a Senior Consultant (or an experienced Consultant) to support this fast-growing and vital advisory space. This role will focus on techno-economic, strategic and regulatory advice to GB Energy Networks, such as NESO, National Gas, TOs, DNOs and GDNs, but also networks in other jurisdictions. You will help our customers understand and overcome strategic and regulatory challenges, assess the technical and commercial viability of innovative technologies/solutions and business models, and manage the risks around investment propositions. Specific topics would include, among others, network planning, digitalisation, "whole systems" network/system operation, innovation, DNO-to-DSO, flexibility mechanisms, renewables integration, and enabling hydrogen. With the continued growth and success of the Power Grids & Markets team, we are recruiting for an overall Project Manager for a large multi-year Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) project related to the decarbonisation of the transmission network in Great Britain, working closely with the client and preparing reports for UKRI/Ofgem on behalf of the project partners.

The project's key objective is to reduce SF6 emissions and facilitate the transition to SF6-free alternatives, aligning with the UK's clean energy goals. To achieve this, the project will focus on enhancing the understanding and handling of SF6 alternatives, developing new retrofill solutions for existing equipment, and developing energy-efficient disposal methods for SF6 once it is removed from assets.

About Energy Systems We help customers navigate the complex transition to a decarbonized and more sustainable energy future. We do this by assuring that energy systems work safely and effectively, using solutions that are increasingly digital. We also help industries and governments to navigate the many complex, interrelated transitions taking place globally and regionally, in the energy industry. GB's electricity and gas networks face a tremendous challenge to deliver the network investments required to enable decarbonisation of heat, and connect large quantities of renewable energy production capacity at record pace. Against this background, the National Energy System Operator (NESO) - a new entity in the energy sector - is tasked with co-optimising gas and electricity network infrastructure planning and delivery. Our energy networks are pivotal to delivering the energy transition at the scale and pace required to realise Net Zero 2050, and to fulfil their role, they will need to overcome unprecedented techno-economic challenges under high policy and regulatory uncertainty. Energy Strategy Advisory combines deep expertise of renewable energy technologies, gas and electricity networks, energy markets, and business models to advise stakeholders in the energy transition. Our clients span the full energy value chain and include manufacturers, utilities, investors, regulators and governments. Our services involve techno-economic assessment, research and innovation, strategy and management consulting, as well as policy and regulatory advice. Our overall objective is to help the energy sector to develop viable and economic solutions to support the transition to a smart, flexible energy system as part of the route to Net Zero. ESA comprises the Power Grids & Markets team, with a primary focus on network planning and digitalisation of electricity networks, the Low Carbon Fuels team, with a primary focus of supporting decarbonisation of industrial users, and the Energy Systems Modelling and Green Energy Procurement teams. This role will be based in the Power Grids & Markets team, with opportunities to work across a number of exciting projects which combine the specialisms of ESA.
