🏢 About Iberdrola

Iberdrola is a global leader in clean energy, with a strong commitment to sustainability and ethical practices. Working here means contributing to the acceleration of America's (and UK's) energy transition, with significant investments in transmission infrastructure. The company's focus on innovation and stakeholder engagement offers a dynamic environment for regulatory professionals.

About This Role

This role involves developing regulatory submissions for over £1.5bn in annual investments, ensuring SP Transmission's projects meet regulatory requirements. You'll analyze complex regulatory issues, provide strategic advice to internal teams, and engage with Ofgem. The impact is high, as your work directly enables critical energy infrastructure projects.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve analyzing a new Ofgem consultation and preparing a briefing for internal teams on its potential impact on investment plans. You could then collaborate with finance colleagues to update economic models, and later draft messaging for engagement with regulators. Meetings with stakeholders to discuss submission progress are common, ensuring alignment on strategy.
