Project Manager - Inside IR35 for DESNZ
“Securing our long-term energy supply, bringing down bills and halving inflation”
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero was created in February 2023 with the goal of securing a safe energy supply as well as ensuring the UK leads the way in achieving Net Zero. We are an innovative and exciting department, looking for the very best to lead the way.
The responsibilities for the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero for 2023 are as follows:
- Delivering security of energy supply
- Ensuring properly functioning energy markets
- Encouraging greater energy efficiency
- Seizing the opportunities of net zero to lead the world in new green industries
We encourage our colleagues to be bold, be collaborative, be inclusive and to be big on learning. If you want to take part in meaningful work that makes an impact in the UK as well as abroad, then look no further than the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
Role purpose:
The department is looking to identify the requirements and best route to market for an improved digital data collection and reporting solution for home retrofit schemes, commonly referred to as the ‘Data Management System Version 2 (DMS V2)’. This is a requirement set out by the Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO) for all new systems.
The DMS Discovery Work was led by the DENSZ Digital Team and completed in October 2023. The final report provides the department with recommendations to obtain DMS V2, the costings and requirements to provide the best value for money solution that meets the government’s needs.
The new tool, currently known as DRIP will be available to energy efficiency schemes, and aims to facilitate and encourage a large amount of join up between the schemes to:
- Enable cost savings
- Increase our ability to meaningfully compare schemes
- Increase our ability to leverage data from outside sources such as TrustMark and the Prior Measures Checker and
- Reduce the amount of resource needed to monitor the schemes
The tool:
- Key purpose is to help grant recipients (GRs) manage, monitor and assure their projects, and for DESNZ and its internal and external partners to do the same.
- Will allow our GRs (Local Authorities, Social Housing Landlords and retrofit installers and co-ordinators) to keep an accurate log of all homes they are currently validating, assessing, or treating (and the associated forecasts we hold them to). It will allow GRs to submit monthly reports on the progress of their scheme, as well as to lodge change requests. It will also allow them to check that work completed has been lodged in the TrustMark and MCS data warehouses, and that installers are TrustMark/MCS accredited, in order to reduce the likelihood of fraud.
- May also use the Cabinet Office Spotlight too to run national security checks on installers and delivery organisations.
- Will allow DESNZ, Salix Finance and any appointed external Delivery Partners to view the progress of each project or the schemes themselves in aggregate. Without it, DESNZ will not have visibility over or be able to effectively performance manage the schemes and ensure that they are VfM.
- Will also allow TrustMark sight of the pipeline of homes to be treated by our schemes, allowing them to forecast user numbers and to ensure that the number of homes lodged on their system matches DESNZ records.
The main duties and responsibilities of the Project Manager would be to:
- Manage the development of a new tool designed to allow energy efficiency grant scheme recipients to report on the progress of their scheme, working closely with the DESNZ Digital User Researcher and Data architect.
