As a world-class regulator, the EA works at the intersection of environment, economy and society, helping to create a greener, more resilient future for people, nature and business. The Environment Agency is now seeking an exceptional leader to join its Environment and Business Directorate as Director of Energy and Resources.

Working closely with government departments including DESNZ, Defra, DfT and DBT, and with senior industry leaders, the Director will shape and deliver regulatory strategies that both protect the environment and enable innovation, clean energy and growth. The role combines strategic leadership, policy influence and delivery oversight. The successful candidate will advise the Executive Directors Team and Board on risks, opportunities and long-term direction across these vital sectors - ensuring that the EA's regulatory regimes remain world-leading, proportionate and forward-looking. This is a high-profile role requiring exceptional judgement, political awareness and credibility. Candidates will bring significant experience of working within or alongside central government, regulators or industry, and the confidence (and experience) to operate effectively with ministers, senior officials and CEOs.

The EA is an organisation committed to innovation, inclusion and transformation. The Director of Energy and Resources will play a key role in ensuring that the Agency remains a trusted, evidence-based regulator - championing new ideas, digital tools and partnerships that strengthen performance, transparency and impact. This is an outstanding opportunity for a strategic and influential leader who wants to make a lasting contribution to the UK's environmental future - helping to deliver cleaner growth, support the transition to net zero, and protect communities for generations to come.
