We have an exciting opportunity for a Delivery Project Manager (Grade 11) to join the Post M10 team, as part of the MHHS Programme on a 24 month fixed-term contract (FTC).

Team Overview:

The Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS) Programme is essential for enabling flexibility and supporting the transition to Net Zero. The programme will contribute to a cost-effective electricity system, encouraging flexible energy use and helping consumers reduce their bills. The shift to Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement is the biggest overhaul of electricity systems and processes since privatisation and the introduction of the competitive market in 1998 and sees the introduction of a new industry wide Target Operating Model. One of the most crucial phases of this programme is the Migration phase which involves the migration of circa 33M MPANs from old arrangements to the new settlement arrangements, via 9 migration sprints. This phase will commence post Go-live and will run for 18 months until all MPANs are migrated.

Further information on the programme, including the plan, may be found on the Programme website: https://mhhsprogramme.co.uk/
