The successful candidate will be responsible for providing high quality economic, policy and strategy advice to our clients across a range of projects in the areas of energy (electricity and gas) and/or water. Therefore you should have commercial/economic or regulatory/policy experience within the energy field. The primary responsibilities of the post includes delivering project work including policy and regulatory advice, strategic advice and commercial due diligence; developing and maintaining client relationships, securing work and overseeing project delivery.

Projects may range from research studies, due diligence reports, market assessment, asset evaluation, policy and regulatory advice, business case development, economic appraisal and policy design.
