About the RAINZ CDT The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence for Net Zero is a partnership between three of the UK's leading universities (The University of Manchester, University of Glasgow and University of Oxford). Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) is an essential enabling technology for the Net Zero transition in the UK's energy sector. However, significant technological and cultural barriers are limiting its effectiveness. Overcoming these barriers is a key target of this CDT.The CDT's research projects will focus on how RAS can be used for the inspection, maintenance and repair of new infrastructure in renewables (wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, hydrogen) and nuclear (fission and fusion), and to support the decarbonization of existing maintenance and decommissioning of assets. We are seeking motivated and curious graduate scientists and engineers who are interested in developing new skills and have a desire to help increase use of RAS to support the UK's Net Zero strategy. RAINZ CDT students will play an important role in advancing this rapidly growing area of science and engineering. Programme structure (1+3) Year 1 (Taught component): All students spend the first year at The University of Manchester undertaking taught MSc studies and bespoke CDT training. Students must achieve an average of 65% or higher in their MSc assessments to be considered for progression to the PhD component of the programme. Note: Students do not graduate with an MSc degree as the summer period is spent undertaking a CDT summer school rather than an MSc Dissertation. Years 2 - 4 (PhD research): Students are based at the host institution to undertake their PhD research (i.e., either The University of Manchester, University of Glasgow or University of Oxford), which will be complemented by a comprehensive cohort-wide training and employability programme. The RAINZ CDT programme follows a cohort-based training and research designed to ensure that graduates are not only subject matter experts, but also equipped with highly valuable skills in teamwork, sustainability, EDIA and wellbeing, industrial engagement, and commercialisation. Each cohort tackles an industry co-created, cross-sector challenge that requires a multi-disciplinary team of engineers and scientists to solve it. Researchers explore different aspects of the challenge, which are then integrated through the RAINZ CDT annual research sprints. Find out more about the RAINZ CDT Training principles. PhD Project Overview Cohort research challenge: Long-term autonomous monitoring and maintenance of assets Year 1 MSc Course: MSc Advanced Control and Systems Engineering Year 2 - 4 PhD Location: The University of Manchester Research Abstract Complex engineered systems are increasingly monitored by AI models which estimate health states, detect anomalies, and predict remaining useful life. These predictions are never certain: sensors degrade and drop out, operating conditions drift beyond training data, and degradation processes are inherently stochastic. Yet the decisions which rest on them - when to maintain, when to inspect, when to abort or extend a mission - are increasingly automated. The central challenge is no longer producing predictions, but quantifying how much they can be trusted, understanding where that trust breaks down, and acting rationally when it does, whether the uncertainty resides in an autonomous platform, an embedded sensor in a remote structure, a degradation model, or the gap between a digital twin and the asset it represents. Eligibility Applicants should hold a First or strong Upper Second-class honours degree (2:1 with 65% average), or international equivalent, in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related discipline. Applicants should also demonstrate evidence of programming experience. This project is open to Home students. Equality, diversity and inclusion are central to the RAINZ CDT. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds and identities and are committed to a fair, inclusive recruitment process that minimises unconscious bias and supports individual needs. Funding Successful applicants will be awarded a 4-year studentship covering: Tuition fees (Home student rate) A tax-free stipend to help with living costs, set at UKRI minimum rate (£21,805 for 2026/27), which increases annually in line with inflation A Research Training and Support Grant to cover travel expenses and project consumables associated with your research including conference attendance, secondments, and other research and training activities Additional funding is available to support a range of CDT activities, such as secondments or institutional visits, the purchase of additional specialised equipment, and an accessibility fund to support students with specific needs (e.g., caring responsibilities) when attending conferences or other required activities. Funding for this RAINZ CDT studentship is provided by BAE Systems. This project is subject to funding being confirmed by the industry partner. TechExpert: As part of the UK Government's TechFirst skills programme, successful Home applicants to Cohort 2 of the RAINZ CDT will receive a £10,000 per year enhancement to their UKRI minimum stipend. The deadline for submitting the RAINZ CDT application form is 5:00 pm, Friday 31 July 2026. Applications received after this deadline will not be considered. Start Date: Monday 21 September 2026 (see UoM Key Dates for more details).

We're seeking a high-calibre, experienced and confident professional to join our Energy Regulation Team as Head of Energy Trading Regulation. You'll sit at the intersection of trading, markets, and regulation, translating regulatory complexity into clear, actionable guidance across the Octopus businesses engaging in UK and European energy markets. You'll bring your deep expertise in energy trading regulation, work directly with the Energy Markets team (traders, ppa, risk, forecasting and data engineering specialists) and support the business wherever wholesale market regulatory obligations apply, from real-time trading through to long-term strategy. This role is about making regulation work for us, not against us. What you'll do Own regulatory interpretation and compliance across electricity (day-ahead, intraday, balancing, forwards), natural gas (spot, prompt, forwards), and environmental products (ROCs, REGOs, Guarantees of Origin, ETS compliance). Translate regulatory frameworks into practical guidance on physical and financial hedging strategies, and complex products (tolling agreements, PPAs, structured instruments) that our teams operate across GB, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Embed REMIT, EMIR, and MiFID II into trading strategy and processes from inception, ensuring teams maintain regulatory clarity and confidence as markets and regulations evolve. Evaluate and advise on regulatory treatment of emerging strategies, including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), demand-side flexibility portfolios, and renewable generation optimisation. Track and interpret regulatory developments across power markets, gas markets, carbon/environmental regimes, and flexibility participation rules. Develop practical, accessible training to keep teams current on evolving regulatory obligations and market impacts. Build and maintain relationships with regulators (Ofgem, ACER, the FCA), industry bodies, and peers - staying ahead of regulatory change to keep guidance current and anticipate market impacts. Lead cross-functional planning and implementation of upcoming market related regulatory reforms and rule changes. What you'll need Experience: Strong background in energy wholesale market regulations (UK and/or Continental Europe). Deep understanding of power and gas market design, trading structures, and regulatory frameworks. Hands-on experience with REMIT, EMIR, and MiFID II compliance and application. Exposure to environmental markets, certificates, or carbon trading. Experience supporting trading operations or market-facing commercial teams. Familiarity with BESS, demand flexibility, or optimisation strategies is valuable. Experience translating complex market regulations to non-specialist audiences. How you work Commercially aware: you understand how to support complex hedging structures while ensuring regulatory obligations are met. You provide specialist regulatory guidance to the Energy Markets team while supporting broader business functions on regulatory compliance You default to 'how do we do this?' rather than defaulting to 'we can't'. You work comfortably in real time with the Energy Markets team and cross-business stakeholders - handling ambiguity and competing regulatory priorities. You simplify complexity without losing accuracy or regulatory substance. Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to synthesize complex topics for non-specialists. Strong presentation skills and comfortable in a data-rich, tech-enabled environment. A genuine fit with our culture and commitment to our mission. Why this role matters Power, gas, and carbon are becoming fully interconnected. Flexibility and storage are central to market economics. Regulation is expanding and fragmenting across Europe at pace. This role ensures Octopus can optimise across all commodities, scale across multiple jurisdictions, and turn regulatory complexity into a genuine competitive edge. We need someone who can sit at the centre of markets, codes, and regulation. Why else you'll love it here Wondering what the salary for this role is?Just ask us! On a call with one of our recruiters it's something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary.
