Since 1997 E4tech has been supporting the global transition to sustainable energy and resources. We work with companies, governments, and investors to guide strategy, policy, and investment decisions locally and globally. Our strong track record in providing strategic business and policy advice is backed by deep technical knowledge. E4tech’s clients call on us for strategy development and business planning, market and competitor analysis, techno-economic and life-cycle GHG analysis, due diligence support, policy analysis, and development.

In May 2021, E4tech became part of ERM, the leading global sustainability consultancy, enabling us to provide a wider offering to clients worldwide. Together with Element Energy, also part of ERM since 2021, we have formed a team of over 150 experts in sustainable energy working globally as part of the ERM Group.

As the climate change agenda and global interest in the energy transition and a more renewable and circular economy escalate, we are experiencing an unprecedented increase in requests for support from organizations seeking to understand their role.

Your responsibilities include:

• Participating in and managing projects on all aspects of low carbon fuels and chemicals, including techno-economic modeling of supply chains, pre-feasibility studies, supply chain formation, technical and commercial due diligence, and market, sustainability, and policy analyses;
• Identifying new business opportunities;
• Participating in or leading proposal writing;
• Communicating with clients on project and business development;
• Contributing to the development and implementation of consulting market strategies, including thought leadership on low carbon fuels and chemicals;
• Line management responsibilities, possibly from an early stage;
• Contributing to internal and external communication activities, including conferences.

Opportunities exist to develop strategy, project management, business development, and team leadership skills. The role is based in our UK offices, primarily London, with frequent interaction with international teams and clients globally, mostly office-based.

We offer a collaborative culture, a competitive salary, and an environment at the forefront of sustainable energy and resources. Salary and grade depend on experience.

About you

We seek a committed, problem-solving consultant with enthusiasm, initiative, and a strong interest in energy and sustainability. Candidates should have an excellent technical background in science or engineering (preferably postgraduate) relevant to low carbon fuels and/or chemicals, with relevant experience in consulting or industry.

Expertise in areas such as oil and gas, biofuels, e-fuels, recycled carbon fuels, bio-based chemicals, recycled chemicals, and plastics, especially in technologies, markets, policy, and supply chains, is desirable.
