Welcome to Guidehouse’s Europe and Middle East (EME) public sector (PS) team within our global Energy, Sustainability and Infrastructure segment (ES&I). With more than 700 consultants ES&I is the largest energy and sustainability consulting team worldwide. While in ES&I we also collaborate with utilities and energy companies, large corporations, product manufacturers, and investors to help them thrive in a rapidly changing energy environment, our PS team focuses on governments like the European Commission and the German government, where we run many high-level and truly impactful projects in parallel, that provide the backbone for making our society climate neutral as soon as possible. Working for a broad range of clients enables us to leverage our impact on policymaking.

We base our analyses on and derive our recommendations from science-based reports, technological competences, and an appreciation for practical and innovative approaches. Therefore, Guidehouse’s ES&I segment always strives to be at the cutting edge of climate and energy market developments. Our strength is the development of tailor-made solutions.

What You Will Do:

• Become part of our team to work on projects to accelerate the green energy transition nationally and globally. Our projects tackle critical aspects of the energy transition such as investment frameworks for clean energy technologies (including electricity market design and support schemes), renewable energy integration, sector coupling, decarbonization in industry, and the ramp up of the hydrogen value chain.

• Under guidance and support of our team, you will contribute to successful project implementation by supporting structured policy analysis, supporting project management and contributing to stakeholder and partner management. You will work on projects for public institutions (and to a lesser degree for industry clients) on national, EU, and international level.

• Build good relationships with the wider Guidehouse team and establish client and industry networks and uphold Guidehouse’s values of respect, integrity, innovation, stewardship and excellence and support our culture of inclusion & diversity.

What You Will Need:

• A team-player who demonstrates the willingness and ability to work effectively in the consulting business with diverse teams and collaborate with colleagues at all levels.

• Passionate to work on sustainability, innovation and energy transition, a critical thinker with a strong eye for detail, positive mindset, and creativity in problem-solving.

• Ability to work efficiently and effectively (both virtually and in-person) in an independent, proactive manner.

• Able to work on multiple projects and show a good understanding of the project objectives and client expectations.

• Comfortable communicating and presenting project results internally and externally.

• Master’s degree or similar relevant academic background in (energy/environmental/electrical) engineering, policy, economics and social sciences with significant focus on energy, with 3 - 5 years of work experience in consultancy and/or the energy sector (public institutions, consultancy, grid operators, utilities).

• Strong knowledge of relevant energy technology and market trends and market mechanisms is an asset.

• As a global company we work with clients primarily in English, so English language skills are a must, fluency in German is important to serve our clients located in Germany. Other languages (e.g. French, Eastern European languages) is a bonus.

• Willingness to travel and work internationally (e.g. EU countries) on occasion.

What Would Be Nice To Have:

• Proven extracurricular activities and/or international experience, preferably with relevant internship or some related work experience.

What We Offer:

Guidehouse offers a comprehensive, total rewards package that includes competitive compensation and a flexible benefits package that reflects our commitment to creating a diverse and supportive workplace.
