    The Climate and Resilience Hub (CRH) at WTW are looking for a talented and motivated intern to join the growing team in Leeds. Drawing on our global expertise and powered by Climate Quantified™, we provide analytics, advisory and implementation services to help our clients identify, measure and respond to climate-related risks and opportunities.

The internship will be structured around conducting a core project(s) aligned to your team’s current work as well as contributing and learning from the wider CRH. For example, during month 1 you would participate in regular team & all CRH meetings and activities, have regular supervision meeting with a mentor(s) and scope a project(s) aligned with your team and personal interest/skills. Project areas could include:

    • Research climate risk profiles of companies operating in different sectors – for example, agricultural, food and beverage, extractives and manufacturing sectors.
