Enforcement Panel Member

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

This is an exciting time to join us. We are expanding as an organisation to fully support Northern Ireland in meeting the challenges of climate change, the continued 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. 

Enforcement Panel Member

In light of the Utility Regulator's continued growth and expanding remit, there is an increasing need to strengthen our enforcement capabilities. We intend to achieve this through the appointment of experienced panel members who can subsequently be selected, on a case-by-case basis, to sit on a Settlement or Enforcement Committee. 

We are looking for candidates with senior/board level experience who have
the ability to effectively challenge and evaluate whether a regulated company has
breached the obligations of their licence or other legislative requirements.

You will have strong experience of sitting on boards or panels and interpreting legislation and/or legal advice. You will have a proven ability to critically evaluate complex, and potentially conflicting, information and evidence. You must be able to demonstrate an ability to make difficult but fair decisions and experience in upholding the highest standards of rigorous decision making. You should also have excellent communication skills and the ability to engage with a wide range of stakeholders.
