Requirements

  • At least 5 years' experience with clients in the energy and resources sector, preferably with an energy and resources or projects and construction background.
  • Alternatively, you may have a strong private M&A background and be interested in developing your career further in the energy & resources sector.

  • We strive to ensure that our inclusive environment means you feel valued and able to perform at your best by being your authentic self at work.
  • We understand that you have commitments and personal interests outside of work and we strive to create a working environment based on mutual trust and respect, in which you can perform at your best whilst maintaining sustainable balance across your life.
  • We value your wellbeing, both at home and work, and we place a strong emphasis on mental health.
