At Aurora, you will apply the skills you have developed through your studies to solving some of our clients’ most interesting and intricate problems. Through a mix of structured training programmes and on-the-job learning, we will help you raise your abilities to the next level, preparing you to build trusting relationships with clients, develop new business opportunities, nurture teams and communicate complex ideas with crystal clarity. You will support developers, utilities, investors, and governments to navigate the Greek, Bulgarian, Romanian, Hungarian, Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian and other Western Balkan power markets, as they are transitioning away from coal towards renewables.
The successful applicant will combine strong quantitative ability with a track record of high performance in team-oriented environments. You will work in a dynamic, intellectually stimulating, yet supportive environment. You will enjoy autonomy, the opportunity to substantially influence major decisions in the energy sector and grow into an industry expert under the guidance of directors with deep experience addressing major strategic issues at the world’s leading advisory firms.
The position is suitable for a recent graduate of a bachelor’s/master’s/doctorate with 0-2 years of relevant work experience. The exact entry position will be dependent on experience and educational level.
As a Graduate Analyst in the Advisory / Research Teams:
- You will develop timely and rigorous quantitative analyses to enhance clients’ decision making
- You will play an active role in all aspects of client engagement: helping identify issues, forming hypotheses, conducting analysis, synthesising conclusions into recommendations, and communicating findings to clients
- You will work closely with our modelling team, structuring economic problems into quantifiable analyses and deriving insights from the model results
- You will also contribute to Aurora’s product development, by identifying new opportunities and expanding our capabilities
The Teams
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. Besides project valuation work, the Advisory team also works with governments and regulators on designing and evaluating energy policy.
- While most projects last for around two weeks, some longer projects, such as multi-client studies or longer pieces of policy work, can take several months.
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 of 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.
