From day one you will be placed at the heart of the energy transition, working across hydrogen, heat pumps, biofuels, and a range of other low-carbon technologies, developing your profile as a low-carbon expert with a holistic understanding of technological and policy opportunities, challenges, and limitations.
This will be underpinned by your ability to create evidence-based numerical analysis which we will support you to communicate to key industry decision makers (including MPs, CEOs, managing directors and boards).
Previous analysis has been used across industry, used by MPs in debates, and has featured widely across leading news outlets, and has shaped new policies which have driven efficiencies and low-carbon technology uptake.
Currently, the energy industry is taking a leap into a low-carbon future, which brings unprecedented challenge and opportunity, and has kickstarted discussions regarding the optimum pathway to a net zero future. Your work will inform and influence these narratives and the debate alongside our clients and wider industry.

- Communicating analysis methods and outcomes clearly and concisely to senior industry figures and stakeholders with little background in numerical analysis
- Managing a diverse and demanding workload, delivering projects accurately and on time.
- The role will require the completion of varied assignments working with industry and government to shape low carbon energy policy and analyse the costs and benefits of the net zero transition.
- Working within project teams to deliver client outcomes
- A mix of project and account work
