Are you looking for a role that puts you at the heart of the Smart Metering arrangements, and allows you to continue your development and ambition needs? Do you have the passion and hunger to help ensure the rollout of smart meters delivers the promised benefits to industry and end-users? If this is you, then the Smart Energy Code Company (SECCo) would love to hear from you.


Smart Metering sits as a key enabler of a net-zero energy system and there has never been a more important time for ensuring that smart meters and the supporting Smart Energy Code (SEC) arrangements are fit for the future. The parties to the SEC are at the forefront of developments that will allow energy consumers to make better use of their energy and reduce their energy bills, whilst ensuring more efficient use of the energy system and assets.


At the heart of decarbonising the UK economy, the energy sector is an exciting place to be. SECCo is arguably one of the most important bodies in ensuring we achieve the UK’s low-carbon goals.


The SECCo Executive Team have been tasked to build its own team of dedicated, and enthusiastic subject matter experts to work alongside the existing SEC code administrator (SECAS) to improve the service and value we provide to SEC Parties.


About the Role


We’re recruiting a Strategy Analyst to join our Code and Regulatory Strategy Team at SECCo. This role supports the Senior Strategy Manager across a wide range of strategic and regulatory activities that underpin the smart metering ecosystem. You’ll help shape how the Smart Energy Code evolves to support innovation, efficiency, and consumer benefit as the UK moves toward a net-zero energy system.


This is a great opportunity to build your experience in energy policy, regulation, and strategy in a dynamic and high-impact environment.


We expect the role to evolve, so if your experience or interests don’t match exactly but are broadly relevant, we’d still like to hear from you!


We may request cover letters at a later stage to support the shortlisting process.
