We are looking for an Economist / Senior Economist, specialising in Energy Economics, to join our Economics, Modelling and Impact practice.

This is a deliberately open brief. We are interested in candidates from a range of backgrounds and levels of experience. You may already be operating at senior level, or you may be earlier in your career but bring strong energy and economics expertise with clear room to grow.

What matters most is that you can strengthen our energy economics capability: bringing technical skill, sound judgement and an interest in applying economics to live policy and client problems.

You will work on projects across energy, decarbonisation, infrastructure, regulation and industrial policy. Depending on your experience, you may lead projects yourself or play a central role in delivering them as part of a wider team.

In this role, you would:

• lead or support the design, delivery and write-up of economic analysis and modelling projects, primarily for clients working in energy and decarbonisation
• work on questions spanning energy markets, networks, regulation, infrastructure and transition pathways
• contribute to a wider mix of work across impact measurement, policy design, opinion research and strategic advisory projects
• work closely with colleagues from different disciplines to translate technical analysis into clear, persuasive outputs for clients and policymakers
• help shape project approaches, research design and analytical frameworks
• contribute to business development by helping develop proposals, generate ideas and support client relationships
• play a part in building and deepening Public First’s wider energy economics offer
