Head of Heat Network Management
Nationwide / Primarily London | Up to £95,000 + Car Allowance + Benefits
This is a highly specialist senior leadership role for someone who understands regulation, governance and operational excellence across heat networks, metering, billing and compliance.
We are supporting the appointment of a Head of Heat Network Management to lead governance, regulatory compliance, billing strategy, debt oversight and supply chain performance across a substantial portfolio of 100+ residential and mixed-use heat networks.
This is not a traditional operational management role.
This is a strategic leadership opportunity for someone who can shape policy, interpret legislation, protect customers and ensure a business is fully prepared for the future of heat network regulation.
The Opportunity:
• Lead governance and regulatory compliance across a national heat network portfolio
• Interpret evolving legislation and translate it into clear internal frameworks
• Act as senior interface with Ofgem and relevant regulatory bodies
• Oversee metering, billing, reconciliation and data governance strategy
• Shape compliant debt management frameworks balancing financial performance with customer protection
• Build governance and reporting structures for senior leadership and Board oversight
• Monitor maintenance supply chain performance, ensuring technical and commercial standards
• Lead and develop a specialist team focused on accountability, transparency and continuous improvement
What We Are Looking For:
• Strong understanding of heat network regulation and energy compliance frameworks
• Significant experience within heat networks, utilities, metering or billing in a regulated environment
• Experience developing or overseeing metering and billing strategy
• Strong understanding of governance, reconciliation, data integrity and debt management
• Experience engaging with Ofgem or similar regulatory bodies
• Senior leadership and team management capability
• Strong commercial, analytical and strategic thinking skills
Why This Role Stands Out:
This is a rare opportunity to lead at the centre of:
• Heat network regulation
• Energy compliance
• Billing governance
• Customer protection
• Strategic portfolio leadership
This role would suit:
• A senior heat network professional
• A utilities or compliance leader
• A metering and billing governance specialist
• Someone looking to influence standards nationally
The Bigger Picture:
As regulation tightens and scrutiny across heat networks increases, this role becomes central to ensuring compliance, operational excellence and long-term strategic readiness.
This is not simply maintenance oversight.
This is about:
✔ Governance
✔ Compliance
✔ Regulation
✔ Customer protection
✔ Leadership
Package:
• Up to £95,000 basic salary
• Car allowance
• Benefits package
• National leadership role
• Strategic influence across a growing specialist sector
If you have the regulatory, operational and leadership capability to operate at this level, this is a standout opportunity.
