About The Role

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. We recruit an Intern for its energy team based in Paris to support its rapid growth. The intern will be based at FTI Consulting's central Paris office, with sporadic international travels if permitted. 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.

What you will gain includes training and coaching on structured thinking, synthesizing complex information, creating financial models, and developing industry-specific expertise in the infrastructure and energy sectors.

What You’ll Do

The Intern will join a team of professionals with deep expertise and experience in the infrastructure and energy sectors, addressing complex economic, financial and strategic issues across five dimensions of expertise:

• Project Finance – Advises on project finance matters including project debt restructuring, capital raising, infrastructure M&A, and sovereign advisory. Examples:
  • Advising a group of 10 international lenders on the debt restructuring of a large independent power producer (IPP) in West Africa
  • Advising a transmission system operator (TSO) on designing a comprehensive and innovative financial strategy to finance interconnectors connecting offshore wind farms across the North Sea.
• Strategy – Advises energy companies and governments on decarbonisation of energy systems. Examples:
  • Advising a Western European infrastructure company on 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
• Dispute – Acts as an independent economic expert in complex disputes, advising tribunals on energy markets issues and damages quantification. Examples:
  • Assessing the lost profits of a terminated hydropower plant project in Southern Europe
  • Assessing the economic implications of the determination of a disputed maritime border focusing on offshore oil and gas production
• Regulation – Advises energy ministries, regulators and regulated companies on regulatory regimes governing electricity, gas, carbon, fuels and related markets. Examples:
  • Designing a new incentive-based regulatory regime for the electricity sector in a developing country
  • Assessing the quantitative impact of proposed EU carbon market reforms
• Transaction – Advises investors and contracting parties on energy asset transactions and long-term energy contracts. Examples:
  • Conducting commercial due diligence on a French smart meter company
  • Negotiating a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement for a new 400 MW power plant

The internship is based in Paris and includes supervision by senior professionals who will help frame analyses and transfer expertise to develop industry understanding and analytical skills.

How You’ll Grow

We are committed to investing in your professional development with programs focused on leadership, growth and development. You will receive training and coaching on how to:

• Apply structured thinking to solve complex economic, strategic, and financial problems
• Synthesize complex information into clear, concise, actionable insights and use storytelling to craft messages for different audiences
• Create financial models for valuation, forecasting and investment decision-making; and develop market models for commodities such as electricity, gas, CO2 and emerging products like low-carbon hydrogen
• Develop industry-specific expertise in infrastructure, energy and mining markets (electricity, gas/LNG, CO2, critical minerals, and emerging products such as biofuels and low-carbon hydrogen)

We promote continuous learning and development through on-the-job learning, self-guided professional development courses and certifications. Upon joining, you will be assigned a dedicated coach to mentor and support you.

What You Will Need To Succeed

Interns will work on several strategic, economic or regulatory projects simultaneously, delivering work with increasing autonomy. To succeed you should have:

• Availability to start between April and July 2026
