Job Description
At Piper Sandler, we connect capital with opportunity to build a better future. Piper Sandler is a leading investment bank serving clients globally. Proven advisory teams combine deep product and sector experience with ready access to global capital. Founded in 1895, the firm is headquartered in Minneapolis with offices across the United States and in London, Aberdeen, Munich, and Hong Kong.
Piper Sandler’s Energy, Power & Infrastructure investment banking division is broadly regarded as the leading advisor to the industry, having operated as an advisory team for over 50 years and completed more than 1,000 transactions.
The team has a large presence in Houston, New York, Aberdeen (Scotland), and London, with over 100 professionals dedicated to Energy, Power & Infrastructure, providing a significant depth of sector expertise across the energy value chain.
Our European offices specialise in Energy Equipment, Services, Technology and Software transactions across a broad range of Renewable and Conventional Energy end-markets, with very limited focus on Upstream or Infrastructure. Our team was an early entrant in the renewable sector, and we continue to play a very active role in the Energy Transition, with market leadership positions across Wind, Power Equipment & Services, and Oilfield Services, as well as a strong track record across Solar, Biofuels, Hydrogen, and Carbon Capture.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
