This guide covers the skills and capabilities, including referral links to other Public Sector Decarbonisation Guidance, that might be required for each of the activities you and your team need to undertake to deliver a decarbonisation programme.

What Is the Purpose of This Guide?

This guide has been designed to accompany the theme guides and covers the skills and capabilities that might be required for each of the activities you and your team need to undertake to deliver a decarbonisation programme.

Most of the theme guides contain some information on skills requirements. This guide does not repeat that information but instead refers to those guides and links together the skills requirements, to help with the planning of your overall decarbonisation programme.

The skills that are required within the various teams involved in your programme will change throughout the different stages of delivery. For example, initially, the resource needed is likely to be strategic, requiring more from design professionals. As you move through feasibility and design, you will need procurement and installation expertise to deliver individual projects, and eventually you will need operational staff to be involved in the operation and monitoring of progress.

It is worthwhile thinking about how you resource your whole programme as part of the initial stages of developing your strategy. This will help you identify if you need to plan in time for recruitment, arranging secondments, or using procurement to bring on board the skills and experience you need.
