Management Consultant - Energy in London

As strategies, technologies, and innovation collide, we create opportunity from complexity. Our teams of interdisciplinary experts combine innovative thinking and breakthrough technologies to progress further, faster. We are over 4,000 strategists, innovators, designers, consultants, digital experts, scientists, engineers, and technologists with deep expertise in various sectors including energy and utilities.

The energy sector is changing quickly, and we need consultants who can help our clients cope with these changes and create/implement plans that balance the goals of customers, regulators, and shareholders from both a business/regulatory and technical point of view. Our successful Energy and Utilities practice is looking for skilled experts to support our current client base and our ambitious growth strategy.

We are looking for consultants with a background in regulated utilities who can work in multi-skilled teams with experience of working with UK energy infrastructure. The ideal candidate would preferably show an understanding of energy price controls and the RIIO framework, and how the management of physical assets supports customer, regulator, and sector objectives.

As a part of the team, you will assist in creating and pursuing business opportunities for new and existing clients through your own and PA's wide network of clients. We excel at bridging the gap between regulatory, engineering, digital, and customer languages so you will add new insights to our diverse mix.

We are particularly interested in those who have practical 'hands-on' experience with energy infrastructure assets and interest in:

• Energy infrastructure planning (transmission and/or distribution) in a rapidly evolving landscape
• The operation of energy networks in delivering consumer, regulator, and shareholder priorities
• The production of asset strategies, policies, plans, and standards, and understanding how these influence business outcomes.

At PA, we believe that a brilliant asset manager is someone who is curious, enjoys exploring new ideas, and seeks to evolve asset management thinking and problem definition. We are looking to recruit and support curious asset management experts to develop across these areas, who are willing to learn and develop themselves in a consulting environment.

Successful candidates will have a good technical understanding of their field, but we also want ingenious people who can turn highly technical detail into simple concepts and communicate this clearly to anyone from boardroom to factory floor.

Key skills include:

• Self-motivation and ability to manage their own workload effectively
• Creative and open-minded, enjoying learning and trying new ways of doing things
• Strong communication, presentation creation, delivery, and document writing skills
• A great team member in multi-discipline teams

Hybrid working - our approach is to be in the office or on client site a minimum of 2 days per week. However, the actual time you spend and where you spend it will vary by role or assignment, including up to 5 days per week on a client site.

You are passionate about the opportunities and challenges in the energy sector. You are delivery-oriented and at your best when, as part of a team with a high focus on results, you can help clients solve challenging strategic issues.

You have experience working on a portfolio of workstreams or small projects, ensuring compliance with relevant quality assurance and standards and supporting the development of less experienced staff. You have strong communication skills with experience in effective collaboration across internal multi-disciplinary teams.

We therefore ask that you only apply if you meet the residency requirements (i.e. you are a British citizen or have been resident in the UK for the past 5 years), as this is the prerequisite for a security clearance.
