• Support the preparation of independent offshore intelligence reports by collecting, structuring, and analysing information on market trends, cost drivers, and value-engineering opportunities across the offshore wind lifecycle.
• Assist with deep-dive consulting analyses by preparing datasets, building simple models or summaries, and turning findings into clear presentations or decision-support material.
