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.

4. Head of Gas Price Controls.

Our Heads of Function are responsible for leading multiple teams and working closely with the Senior Leadership Team in delivering our Corporate Plan and Forward Work Programmes. 

The successful candidates will work closely with Directors to assist in the delivery of a high volume of quality work output, by playing a leadership role in management, planning and project delivery, alongside responsibility for relevant core business functions.
