Overview

FTI Consulting is the leading global expert firm for organizations facing crisis and transformation. We work with many of the world’s top multinational corporations, law firms, banks and private equity firms on their most important issues to deliver impact that makes a difference. From resolving disputes, navigating crises, managing risk and optimizing performance, our teams respond rapidly to dynamic and complex situations. At FTI Consulting, you’ll work side by side with leaders who have shaped history, helping solve the biggest challenges making headlines today. You’ll be surrounded by an open, collaborative culture that embraces diversity, recognition, professional development and, most importantly, you.

About The Role

We help our clients navigate legal, regulatory and international arbitration proceedings while supporting strategic decision making and public policy debates around the world. We also advise clients to make complex decisions related to energy markets, infrastructure and financing. Delivering incisive interpretation of complex economic issues has made us a global leader in this field. FTI Consulting, a top-tier international economic advisory firm, is looking to recruit an Intern for its energy team based in Paris to support its rapid growth.

What You’ll Do

The intern will work on high-stakes economic and business issues, covering five essential topics relating to the energy industry.

The Intern will join a team of economists, former industry practitioners and regulators who work on high-stakes, sophisticated economic and strategic issues, along four dimensions of expertise in the energy sector:

• Strategy – FTI Consulting advises energy companies and governments on how to position and invest in the decarbonisation of energy systems. Examples:

• Advising a Western European infrastructure company on the possible business models and required financial public support, for the production of renewable gas (hydrogen or methane).
• Advising an African government on its 10-year gas import strategy, in the context of strong energy demand growth.

• Dispute – FTI Consulting acts as an independent economic expert in complex and high-stakes disputes to advise tribunals on energy markets issues and the quantification of damages. Examples:

• Assessing the lost profits of a terminated hydropower plant project in Southern Europe in an investment dispute between a power company and the State.
• Assessing the economic implications of the determination of the disputed maritime border between two African countries, focusing on offshore oil and gas production.

• Regulation – FTI Consulting advises energy ministries, regulators and regulated companies on the design and impact of regulatory regimes applicable to electricity, gas, carbon, fuels and related markets. Examples:

• Designing a new, comprehensive, incentive-based regulatory regime for the electricity sector over the next 12 years in a developing country aiming to further liberalize its electricity sector.
• Assessing the quantitative impact of several proposed reforms of the EU’s carbon market on carbon emissions, carbon price, electricity price and investments in future power generation.

• Transaction – FTI Consulting advises investors and contracting parties on energy asset transactions and long-term energy supply and infrastructure contracts. Examples:

• Conducting commercial due diligence on a French smart meter company for a potential international acquirer.
• Negotiating a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement for a new 400 MW power plant for the Energy Ministry of an African country.

The intern will be based at FTI Consulting’s central Paris office, with sporadic travels within Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) if permitted. He or She will join a team of about 45 members specialising in energy across EMEA. The intern will work within focused teams, supervised by senior professionals who will help frame analyses and transfer their expertise to help the intern develop his/her industry understanding and analytical skills.

How You’ll Grow

We are committed to investing and supporting you in your professional development and we have developed a range of programs focused on fostering leadership, growth and development opportunities. We aim to promote continuous learning and individual skills development through on-the-job learning, self-guided professional development courses and certifications. You’ll be assigned a dedicated coach to mentor, guide and support you through regular coaching sessions and serve as an advocate for your professional growth.

As you progress through your career at FTI Consulting, we offer tailored programs for critical professional milestones to ensure you are prepared and empowered to take on your next role.

What You Will Need to Succeed

Intern will be expected to work on several strategic, economic or regulatory projects at the same time, delivering their work with increasing autonomy.

To deliver effective analyses, the successful candidates should have demonstrated a strong interest in the energy industry, by their degree and/or previous internship experience, ideally on strategic, economic and regulatory issues in the energy sector (electricity, natural gas, oil, coal, renewables…).

• A robust quantitative background to perform detailed economic analyses. Knowledge in financial analysis, although not a requirement, would be positively assessed.
• A high level of rigour in work execution, with attention to details.
• A capability to be flexible and adapt quickly to the diversity of assignments, and different types of client configurations.
• Strong communications skills, both orally and in written form, which will allow the candidate to present his or her work to decision-makers in an effective and convincing manner.
• Availability to start between January and March 2026
• The candidates must be able to speak and write fluently in English. Any additional language will be positively assessed.
