Help lead one of the UK's most significant electricity network digitalisation programmes while shaping the future of electricity networks and the wider energy transition.
About Us
The UK's electricity and gas networks are at the heart of the energy transition. Delivering net zero will require unprecedented investment, the rapid integration of renewable generation, and the transformation of energy infrastructure at a pace not seen before.
At our company, we help network operators, regulators, governments, and investors navigate this challenge and turn ambition into action. Through our Transactions & Strategy Advisory business, we combine expertise in energy systems, electricity networks, markets, regulation, and strategy to help clients make informed decisions in an increasingly complex and uncertain energy landscape.
From developing future network and market strategies to implementing practical solutions and major transformation programmes, we help our clients build electricity networks that are more resilient, flexible, and sustainable.
Joining our team means working at the intersection of strategy, engineering, economics, and policy, delivering high-impact projects that will influence the future of the energy sector.
Our Opportunity
We are seeking a Senior or Principal Consultant to join our Power Grids Advisory team.
This role offers a unique opportunity to play a leading role in one of the UK's most significant electricity network digitalisation programmes while helping shape the future of the GB electricity system.

Our work spans network digitalisation, electricity markets, flexibility, network planning, policy and regulation, innovation, and energy transition strategy.
