Job description

Company Description

AFRY is a company of 18,000 devoted experts in energy, infrastructure, industry and digitalisation, creating sustainable solutions for generations to come. Our Management Consulting Division is a leading consultancy focused on the energy and water sectors. We operate as a single, global team of more than 700 consultants across 20 offices on 4 continents. We help companies, investors and policymakers navigate transforming industries. Our work focuses on market analysis, strategy development, policy & regulation, transaction services and operational & digital transformation. Our team are experts in all areas of the energy and water sectors including renewable energy, desalination, networks, carbon markets and hydrogen.

Job Description

You will have the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience to become an industry specialist within a stimulating and supportive environment. Our team specialises in all aspects of the energy and water sectors. We offer strategic and commercial advice, develop policy and regulations, model systems and markets and support transactions. We pride ourselves on our in‑depth analysis and strong client relationships.

You will join over 700 experts with a presence across Europe, the Middle East, Asia‑Pacific and the Americas who regularly collaborate across offices to deliver projects.

As a primary responsibility, you will support AFRY’s consulting activities for a wide range of clients including major financial investors, utilities, governments and regulatory bodies.

Requirements of the role

• We undertake a lot of complex analysis, a good proportion of which is numerical, so we are looking for people with an aptitude for quantitative and qualitative analysis. This includes the ability to pay attention to detail and use MS Excel proficiently.
• Virtually all the work we do requires team working so if you have good communication skills and the ability to work well with others within a project team and wider office environment you will fit in well.
• In addition, report-writing is a core part of our work and so we are also looking for the ability to explain complex information in a clear and logical way in English using both Word and PowerPoint.
• You will be working in a commercial environment against budgets and deadlines so you will need to be able to think for yourself, be pro‑active and have a business‑oriented mind‑set.

AFRY Management Consulting offers a competitive salary, a performance‑related bonus scheme and an excellent range of benefits.
