The GB energy system is rapidly transforming as we target Clean Power by 2030 and NetZero by 2050. The distribution network is vital in this transformation as we look to accommodate thousands of electric vehicles and heat pumps in people's homes, and connect large volumes of solar and wind. This will require us building out our network at a rate we have not seen this century.
As Operations Director for one of our four licensed areas, reporting to the Director of Field Operations, it will be your job to make the decisions that ensure we remain one of the UK's most reliable and resilient electricity distribution networks, delivering exceptional customer service and performance. This will require driving performance and behaviour standards across the region, delivering a best-practice, high-reliability organisation with minimal organisational drift.
A culture of performance and continuous improvement, aligned with our values where it is safe to speak up, shall be every employee's expectation, because of your leadership impact. You will be responsible for setting strategic focus and direction, enabling the highest levels of safety, and developing a culture that enables high performance, engagement, and inclusion. Acting as decision maker for matters that cannot be resolved within region, you will be the first point of escalation for your regions Heads of Operations. Working with your Operations Director peers in other regions, you will promote a culture of team work where collective results demonstrates confidence in your collective performance.
You will be an inspirational leader in Operational Excellence. Critical thinking will ensure you make smart decisions across a variety of areas, including technical, operational, cultural, and resourcing. In doing so you will ensure consistency of response across operational assets, continually in the pursuit of effective and efficient processes and procedures.
