THE WORK:
Join our Strategy practice as part of Industry Strategy – Resources team and play a key role in shaping the future of capital-intensive organizations across the energy transition.
Work side by side with global, cross-functional teams to design and deliver strategies that guide major capital investments from early-stage feasibility and project development to commissioning and operations handover.
Advise clients on the strategic and commercial dimensions of large-scale capital projects: new greenfield and brownfield plant construction, grid infrastructure expansions, energy storage deployments, data center grid connections, LNG terminals, refinery upgrades, and industrial decarbonization programs.
Support clients in structuring capital project portfolios prioritizing investments, sequencing build-out phases, and aligning capital allocation with long-term strategic objectives.
Conduct asset portfolio analysis for clients managing large infrastructure or production asset bases assessing reinvestment vs. divestment trade-offs and optimizing portfolios across geographies or business units.
Lead strategic engagements from problem framing and analysis to solution design, covering project economics, permitting and regulatory strategy, technology selection, and go/no-go investment decisions.
Advise senior executives and project sponsors, delivering insights that shape critical investment decisions at board and C-suite level.
Analyze project economics and financial models including CAPEX/OPEX structuring, levelized cost benchmarking, and project finance considerations to turn data into actionable investment strategies.
Help clients rethink how capital projects are governed and delivered design and optimize PMO structures, project delivery models, and owner-operator capabilities to improve schedule, cost, and quality outcomes.
Apply data-driven insights, digital tools, and engineering simulation outputs to accelerate project decisions and de-risk capital programs.
Create high-impact deliverables such as investment committee presentations, strategic roadmaps, feasibility assessments, and capital program playbooks
Required Qualifications:

Hands-on exposure to one or more phases of a capital project lifecycle: feasibility, front-end engineering and design (FEED), permitting, EPC/construction management, commissioning, or operations ramp-up.
Experience with contractor or vendor management in a capital project context including procurement strategy, tendering processes, contract negotiation, or construction contractor oversight.
Experience in technical or commercial analysis supporting investment decisions including project economics, technology assessments, grid connection studies, or infrastructure planning.
Experience working with senior stakeholders (C-suite, project sponsors, or regulators) in a consulting or advisory context.
Fluency in English and German or French (spoken and written).
Willingness to travel and work on client sites as required.
Preferred Qualifications:
Background in power systems engineering, grid infrastructure, or process plant design with exposure to tools such as PSS/E, PSCAD, PSSE, Python-based engineering analysis, or DigSILENT PowerFactory
Experience on cross-border infrastructure or energy transition projects (e.g., grid interconnections, data center power supply, offshore wind, green hydrogen, carbon capture).
Familiarity with regulatory frameworks governing grid access, permitting, and energy market participation in European markets.
Familiarity with major EPC/EPCM…
