Our Energy Networks practice are looking for Consultants at Manager level, to join the team. Our UK Energy Networks team works with every electricity and gas network in the UK, supporting clients across the full lifecycle – from policy and regulation through to strategy, operating model, and delivery. As the sector accelerates investment to enable net zero, networks are shifting from primarily managing assets to building and modernising them at pace, while also digitising operations and adopting AI in a business-case-led way.

Our UK activities have quadrupled in the last 5 years, to the point where we are now recognised as a leading consultancy on all things energy networks for network utilities, policy makers and investors. We need to continue to grow our ever-expanding team of energy network experts – with a particular focus on transformation of network operations from asset management and capital delivery to digitalisation and operational transformation that it enables.
