The role We are looking for a motivated and forward-thinking specialist to lead Natural Resources Wales' work on the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) and the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS). This is a high-profile, cross-cutting role at the heart of our evolving industrial decarbonisation and regulatory strategy. You will act as NRW's primary source of technical expertise on UK ETS and ESOS, helping to shape how Wales responds to the challenges and opportunities of a low-carbon industrial future. Working across multiple sectors and regulatory regimes, you will interpret complex legislation, develop internal guidance, and support colleagues to deliver consistent, risk-based regulation.
