Regen is growing. We’re looking for talented individuals to join us in delivering our mission to transform the energy system.

Take a look at our job opportunities and some of the benefits of working at Regen:

As an ambitious purpose-driven organisation, everything we do is aimed at delivering our mission and every team member strives to develop our impact. We have no shareholders to keep happy and so we work where we can have the greatest impact – whether that’s developing models of the future energy system to underpin investment decisions, advising government officials on policy or supporting community energy organisations.

Regen is at the heart of a network of organisations working to transform our energy system. With over 150 member organisations, management of the Electricity Storage Network and a pioneering network promoting diversity and some of the leading events in the industry, this is a unique place to develop your skills, networks and profile. By joining the Regen team, you’ll work at the cutting edge of the energy sector, pioneering new approaches and embracing creativity.

Our mission is underpinned by our values. We operate as a self-organising, developmental organisation with trust, responsibility and respect at our heart. With an inclusive approach to decision making and open book finances, your ideas and opinions will be valued regardless of your position. We are a collaborative organisation and every team member is empowered to steer and shape our work and strategic direction.

You will be given the trust and support you need to make an impact and challenged to take responsibility, learn and grow. We offer flexible, supportive working practices that will enable you to shape and achieve your goals.

We believe the best way to influence people is to present evidence, data and analysis that is based on a deep knowledge of the energy system as a whole. There are no silos at Regen – you’ll be supported to work collaboratively and creatively across the team, developing and sharing your knowledge proactively through internal knowledge hubs, cross-team working and dedicated lunch-and-learn sessions.

We value diversity in all its forms and work to promote inclusivity in our organisation and across the energy sector, for example through ReWiRE, our network for women in renewable energy. We value our team as whole people, who can bring their true selves to work.

We’re looking for innovative, committed people who are passionate about exploring, analysing and communicating the energy transition’s challenges, solutions, benefits and impacts. If you have the drive, ideas and creativity to shape our future energy system, we’d like to hear from you.
