2026 Graduate Analyst Program

**Description**:
During the Graduate Analyst Program, you will take part in placements in different teams across our Australia business. Placements will be assigned collaboratively, based on both your interests and the needs of the business at the time. At the end of the program, you will move into a permanent position within one of our teams.

As a Graduate Analyst, you will have the opportunity to rotate through the following teams:

- **Advisory**: executing bespoke consulting projects for clients
- **Research**: developing market forecast reports and original in-depth research on the future of energy systems

The roles in more detail:
**Advisory**
Projects include valuations of energy assets, modelling bespoke scenarios and asset configurations and conducting analysis to forecast asset economics for investors, banks, developers and utilities. Beside project valuation work, the Advisory team also works with governments and regulators on designing and evaluating energy policy. While most projects last for around four weeks, some longer projects, such as multi-client studies or longer pieces of policy work, can take a number of months. Graduate Analysts usually work alongside another Analysts, and project teams are made up of one or two Analysts, a Project Manager and a Senior Associate providing oversight. Teams re-form for each new project, so you will get the chance to work with everyone in the wider Advisory team.

**Research**
Quarterly market forecast reports are the main output of the Research team. Each quarter you’ll be updating our latest view of the evolution of the power system to 2060 by modelling energy markets based on the latest assumptions on power demand, commodity prices, market activity and policy. This involves a combination of desk research and modelling in collaboration with other teams. The Research team also prepares regular mini conferences which involve presenting in-depth and timely analysis on a specific aspect of the market. Research teams consist of around 5 Analysts, and you’ll work closely with this team throughout the rotation. The reports are read by subscribers from across the industry, including developers, utilities, asset optimisers, system operators, policymakers, regulators, and others.
