About the role

With a portfolio of 7.8GW of interconnection capacity, we provide infrastructure to move power to where it is most needed, providing security of supply and access to affordable power for the countries that we connect.
This is a critical time for the energy sector, as government policies and regulatory arrangements are being shaped to advance the transition to a clean and affordable power system. These developments will set the frameworks for how future interconnector projects are delivered and the cross-border market arrangements for how existing interconnectors operate

What you'll need
* Regulatory/policy experience in the energy sector is preferable.
* You must be a critical thinker with the ability to process complex information, identify the key considerations and develop a strategy around them.
* Excellent written and verbal communication is also expected, as you will often present your proposals to a senior audience.

What you'll get
