Description

This role offers a hybrid work arrangement. You'll spend three days a week in the office, giving you the flexibility to work remotely for two days

The Sargent & Lundy Consulting (SLC) group provides comprehensive technical, financial, and strategic advisory services for energy sector clients, including utilities, independent power producers (IPPs), project developers, lenders, investors, government agencies, and system operators.

As part of our team, you will help clients navigate the energy transition from new generation and grid modernization to data center energy campus development and strategic planning. You will work on high-impact projects, collaborate with industry-leading technical experts, and build a career in energy and infrastructure consulting.

In this role, you will help clients define and execute strategies for new and existing power projects and support clients with improving their business operations. You’ll work on multidisciplinary teams that combine consulting and engineering expertise to deliver rigorous analysis and practical recommendations. Key responsibilities may include:

• Supporting project development and strategic planning, including market, technology, and policy assessments.
• Leading and contributing to project economic and cost analyses, risk assessments, and contracting strategies.
• Supporting or managing technical due diligence and owner’s engineering reviews for power and energy projects.

• Developing conceptual plans in coordination with Sargent & Lundy’s technical teams.
• Preparing and presenting project implementation strategies and plans to client executives and project teams.
• Translating complex technical findings into clear, client-ready deliverables, including presentations and written reports.

The successful candidate will bring prior consulting experience, strong analytical skills, and energy-sector knowledge to help clients navigate an evolving energy landscape. You will work on projects involving new generation development, grid modernization, renewable integration, and new load growth, with exposure to both technical details and executive-level decisions. This is a full-time, client-facing position with extensive exposure to technical experts across the firm.
