We are a dynamic consulting firm, focused on delivering sustainable change. We ensure our clients succeed in their long-term goals by helping them turn their strategy into action through exceptional delivery and a commitment to establishing a culture of change. Clients like what we do and how we work, and we are looking for people to join the Moorhouse team.

We pride ourselves on being proactive, collaborative, and straightforward team players. We work efficiently and collaboratively as a team and honesty and integrity are key to this. In return you will be part of a supportive and high-performing team that shares the workload, looks after each other and celebrates success together. You can be assured of an exciting opportunity that will help you grow your skills through meaningful challenges and equip you with skills, experience and knowledge that can help organisations respond to the turbulence, change and opportunity that will define the future of work.

Requirements and Responsibilities

Potential is what excites us so we are keen to hear from people who want to harness their experience within an organisation that will invest in their professional development from day one. This isn’t just about skills for the job but skills for life – mindset, adaptability, resilience and leadership to name just a few. You will be a key member of the sector leadership team and involved in shaping how we run the business so the ability to lead and support others, shape and influence our continued growth and success as a sector team, and contribute to sales and business development is key.

Over the last four years Moorhouse has extended its reach into the Energy, Utilities and Infrastructure (EU&I) sector. The growth in EU&I clients for Moorhouse has been the result of clients in the sector wanting to look beyond their traditional consultancy suppliers. They are interested in agile, integrated teams working in a truly collaborative way. As many clients in the sector grapple with significant changes in customer, regulatory and technology infrastructure expectations, they have sought our help in developing new approaches and revised operating models. This demand on our services means we are seeking to recruit an EU&I Principal with sector experience to strengthen our current team and to play a role in the leadership and growth of the sector. It is important that you are able to contribute to sales and business development as well as leading consultant/client delivery teams on key engagements and accounts. In addition, we will expect you to support, inspire and develop junior members of the Moorhouse team and play an active role in supporting the career development of a small group of colleagues.
