Hiring in Utilities

Why Utilities roles are hard to fill

Utilities hire for services the public cannot switch away from, under price and service obligations set by an economic regulator. Investment has to be justified in a regulatory submission before it is spent, so candidates who can connect a technology programme to a price determination are valuable. Control systems and enterprise systems have grown together over decades of investment. Many utilities are publicly owned, and senior remuneration sits within frameworks set by government, which shapes who can be attracted from the private market.

Our practitioners have led this kind of work in utilities, so we assess candidates on what they have run and against the pressures the role will carry.
