problem solving
  • Excellent Communication Skills: Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially in creating and presenting material that clearly “tells the story” to the audience (such as using the SCQA method). Ability to share key strategic insights through clear, concise, short reports and slide packs, ensuring that the key messages are relevant and pitched appropriately for the audience (from executive level to non-technical audiences).

Ability to present information in a novel format which allows a variety of audiences to engage with problems and provide solutions.
  • Baseline Understanding of an area of the Energy System: Due to the breadth and depth of the energy system, it is not expected for the candidate to have a wide range of experience across the entire energy system. However, experience across an area such as power system engineering, electricity transmission and distribution, connections, energy innovation, or energy policy is desired so that a base level of knowledge can be built upon. A desire to learn is preferred with experience of quickly engaging and understanding topics beneficial.
  • Multi-Disciplinary Teamworking: Ability to work with technical experts across multiple subject areas (including policy, economics, power systems, and data science) to quickly gain insights across strategy areas, from which to understand and define problems.
