Communications Officer

Protecting Northern Ireland’s energy and water consumers, today and tomorrow is what we do.

This is an exciting time to join us. We are expanding as an organisation to fully support Northern Ireland in meeting the challenges of climate change, the continued cost-of-living crisis and ensuring the continuity of energy and water supplies.

Electricity, gas and water are essential services that support all homes and businesses in Northern Ireland. As an economic regulator, it is our role to enable, incentivise and hold energy and water companies to account for providing the very best levels of service and price for consumers, now and in the future.

Working as a Communications Officer, you will support the provision of high-quality communication services that promote the work of the Utility Regulator to a range of audiences and stakeholders.

Through this, you will support the Communications Team in the implementation of our communications and stakeholder engagement strategy.

This role is ideally suited to someone with experience working within a busy and professional communications environment. You will have experience in assisting with the development and delivery of high-quality communications services, across a range of channels and mediums, to a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.

Northern Ireland continues to have an under-representation of women across STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) industries. We are proud to support women in STEM. We are an equal opportunity and ‘Disability Confident’ employer. As people with a disability and people from ethnic minority communities are currently under-represented in our workforce, we would welcome applications from these groups

We offer an attractive package including a competitive starting salary with stepped increases per annum, alongside a range of other benefits including hybrid working, NI Civil Service pension arrangements and 25 days annual leave (rising to 30 days after two years) and an additional 12 public and privilege days.
