About the Role
We are seeking a Consultant level candidate (2+ years professional experience or PhD) who can deliver our broad range of energy consulting commissions, with a particular interest in candidates with a highly technical background and modelling capability.
The ideal candidate will have an academic background in a highly quantitative degree (e.g. engineering, physics), energy systems expertise, and modelling skills (spreadsheet and code).

In addition to technical work, you will contribute to non-technical tasks such as bid writing, stakeholder engagement and qualitative research. We are a small consultancy, so we all wear many hats.
