Summary

Lincolnshire County Council is seeking an exceptional strategic thinker to direct our work at the forefront of one of the UK's most significant energy opportunities.

This is not a traditional energy role.

We are looking for someone who can navigate the intersection of energy policy, major infrastructure, economic growth, political engagement and place-based investment. You will be helping Lincolnshire secure the maximum benefit from nationally significant developments in the UK's energy sector. The role has a particular focus on fusion energy but its purpose is much broader: helping ensure that energy infrastructure supports prosperity, investment, skills, business growth and sustainable development across Lincolnshire.

As our Senior Energy Adviser, you will become the Council's lead adviser on energy-related growth opportunities, working directly with senior officers, elected members, regional bodies government departments, investors, businesses, universities and national delivery bodies.

The Opportunity

The UK is entering a transformative period of energy investment.

From the development of fusion, fission and hydrogen energy through the Trent Supercluster programme , to wider debates around energy security, electricity capacity, industrial decarbonisation and infrastructure delivery, the energy landscape is evolving rapidly and Lincolnshire has a role as a county well known for ‘defending, feeding and powering the nation’.

You will monitor and assess national policy developments, identify opportunities and risks for Lincolnshire, influence decision-makers, build partnerships and collaborations and develop interventions that create long-term economic value for our communities and businesses.

Success in this role will mean helping Lincolnshire secure investment, infrastructure, jobs, skills development and supply chain opportunities whilst ensuring elected members and senior leaders have clear, evidence-based advice to make informed decisions in a fast- paced environment.

Why Join Us?

This is a rare opportunity to influence some of the most significant economic and energy developments affecting Lincolnshire over the coming decades.

You'll work on issues that are nationally important while helping ensure that local communities, businesses and residents benefit from future investment.

You will have significant exposure to senior leaders and decision-makers and the opportunity to shape how Lincolnshire responds to one of the biggest economic transitions of our generation.

If you are motivated by complex challenges, strategic influence and the opportunity to leave a lasting impact on a place, we'd love to hear from you.

At Lincolnshire County Council, we believe our people are at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we offer a rewarding package designed to support your work–life balance, health and wellbeing, financial security, and career growth.
