Regulatory Analysts - Markets and Price Controls

Protecting Northern Ireland’s energy and water consumers today and tomorrow is what we do. 

This is an exciting time to join us, as we are expanding as an organisation so that we can fully support Northern Ireland in meeting the challenges of climate change, the cost-of-living crisis and ensuring the continuity of energy and water supplies.

Electricity, gas and water are essential services that support all homes and businesses in Northern Ireland. As an economic regulator, it is our role to enable, incentivise and hold energy and water companies to account for providing the very best levels of service and price for consumers both now and in the future.

You’ll be joining an organisation that is growing and transforming to meet the challenges of the future and protecting consumers in a changing world.

Regulatory Analysts (Markets and Price Controls)

Working as a Regulatory Analyst you will be responsible for providing analysis and advice on energy (electricity and gas) and water issues, as they relate to Northern Ireland consumers, and to the companies we regulate. In addition, you will play an active role in supporting the organisation as it supports government initiatives as part of the climate change transition. 

These roles are well suited to persons with good financial and analytical skills, excellent project management experience and the ability to build and maintain positive and trust-based working relationships internally and externally. Successful candidates should have a proactive, collaborative and flexible attitude, and be unfazed by operating in a fast-changing environment. 

General information

Northern Ireland continues to have an under-representation of women across our STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) industries. The Utility Regulator is an Equal Opportunities and Disability Confident Employer. As people with a disability, people from ethnic minority communities and women are currently underrepresented in the Utility Regulator, we would particularly welcome applications from these groups.

We offer an attractive package including a competitive starting salary with stepped increases per annum, alongside a range of other benefits including hybrid working, Northern Ireland Civil Service pension arrangements and 25 days annual leave (rising to 30 days after two years) and an additional 12 public and privilege days.
