Power Grid Analyst (Data Centres and Industrials)

Overview

As a Grid Analyst, you analyze and model electrical grids to inform capex strategies and prioritise non-wire solutions. You’ll work within a cross-functional team to assess grid quality, stability and interconnection, shaping investment plans and energy systems. You will use advanced techno-economic modelling to optimise resource mixes and support global grid development initiatives. The role offers impact across UK and international markets with a strong emphasis on data-driven insights and collaboration.
