The Department of Energy and Climate Change was created in October 2008 with staff from DEFRA and BERR. A single staffing structure was introduced from August 2009. This consists of seven layers below the senior civil service (administrative assistant, administrative officer, executive officer, higher executive officer, senior executive officer, Grade 7 and Grade 6) and four layers within the senior civil service (permanent secretary, director general, director and head of team). There are additionally a number of specialist grades among economists and statisticians—however, these have equivalents within the named layers.
