Energy and Decarbonization Consultant

Join to apply for the Energy and Decarbonization Consultant role at Arcadis

Arcadis is looking for a passionate and driven Energy & Decarbonization Consultant to join our U.S.

-based Asset Advisory team and help shape the future of industrial decarbonization. In this role, you’ll collaborate with a diverse, multidisciplinary team and leverage one of the world’s best industrial client networks to deliver impactful solutions that enable energy-consuming organizations to unlock value on their journey towards net zero. As a Senior Consultant, you’ll lead projects and provide technical expertise to design and implement actionable energy & decarbonization strategies for global industrial clients across sectors such as life sciences, food and beverage, mining, and more.

You will focus on reducing energy consumption, replacing fossil fuels, and integrating innovative, energy‑efficient technologies tailored to specific client needs. By analyzing processes, equipment, and site‑specific challenges—including permitting requirements, grid capacity, and market constraints—you will create solutions that balance technical feasibility, economic outcomes, and environmental goals. This role offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact by helping industrial organizations navigate their energy transition with practical, achievable strategies.

You’ll work closely with clients and internal teams across diverse cultures and geographies, contributing to Arcadis’ global leadership in industrial sustainability. The ideal candidate is a highly organized self‑starter with strong consultancy skills and an engineering background. You bring proven experience delivering decarbonization solutions for industrial manufacturing clients with large energy‑consuming sites and thrive in collaborative, fast‑paced environments. This hybrid position is based out of one of Arcadis’ U.S. offices, such as Washington, D.C.
