Business Analyst – Delivery & Schemes Division

Based in Cardiff, Glasgow, or London (with preference for Cardiff/Glasgow applicants)

About the Role

Join Ofgem’s Delivery and Schemes division and contribute to environmental and social programmes accelerating the UK’s transition to a greener, more sustainable energy future. As part of the Delivery Hub, you’ll collaborate in a high-performing, multidisciplinary team, driving strategic change, process improvements, and digital solutions across critical energy and environmental schemes.

In an agile environment, you’ll partner with internal stakeholders, policy teams, technical specialists, and third-party partners to deliver regulatory and business change. Your role spans requirements analysis, improvement initiatives, and user-centric solution development, ensuring new processes and technologies are adopted widely and deliver measurable impact.

You’re a solutions-focused thinker who thrives on challenging assumptions, uncovering root causes, and designing practical improvements. With strong stakeholder management, agile collaboration, and lifecycle development experience, you’ll empower teams to deliver cost-effective, scalable solutions that enhance service outcomes for consumers and the energy sector.

Note: This role is currently within Ofgem. In 2027, it will transition under the Warm Homes Plan, with adjustments managed via the Cabinet Office Statement of Practice (COSoP) or TUPE legislation as required.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
