Energy Retail - Consultant / Senior Consultant in City of London

We set out to build the world’s most trusted consulting firm – creating lasting impact for clients and pioneering a positive, people-first way of working.

• Customer Affordability: We are passionate about building a market that works for customers. We need commercially-minded people that understand how complex processes work across customer metering, billing and debt management from a systems, process and regulatory perspective to enable improvements for our clients and their customers, especially those in Vulnerability.
• Field Services: We are helping our clients build workforces of the future that serve both the customer and network operators’ needs as efficiently and effectively as possible. Experience in field service transformation to enable performance improvement and Net Zero delivery across energy and water industries is valued.
• Data/Digital: We are excited to be at the forefront of emerging technologies that support our clients to deliver the right solutions into their business to drive efficiency and performance.
