Emergency Response Officer

Job Title: Emergency Response Officer
Location: Warwick (Hybrid/Flexible Working)
Contract Type: 12-Month Contract (Potential to Extend)
Sector: Critical National Infrastructure | Energy | Resilience

Are you ready to step into a role where your decisions could shape the response to national emergencies? We're looking for a sharp, proactive, and mission-driven Emergency Response Officer to join one of the UK's leading energy organisations.

This isn't business continuity. This is real-time incident response-from gas leaks and cyber threats to national-scale emergencies. If you thrive under pressure, love planning for the unpredictable, and want to make a tangible impact, this is your moment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and deliver emergency training and exercises for operational and tactical response teams.
• Coordinate cross-functional incident response strategies and embed lessons learned.
• Develop and maintain emergency response tools, procedures, and facilities.
• Represent the organisation in national forums and with key stakeholders.
• Support the evolution of emergency arrangements for future energy systems (e.g., hydrogen).

Skills and Experience

• Experience in emergency planning or incident response (Category 1 or 2 responder experience ideal).
• Knowledge of the Civil Contingencies Act, JESIP, or safety legislation (COMAH, PSR, GSMR).
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Calm, clear-headed thinking in high-pressure situations.
• Qualifications in emergency planning or business continuity.
• Experience in the energy, utilities, or infrastructure sectors.

Why Apply?

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the resilience of the UK's energy infrastructure and shape the future of emergency response. Whether you're a recent graduate in emergency planning or an experienced responder, we want to hear from you.
