Teamwork is important to you and you are excited by the prospect of working with colleagues and clients from a diverse range of backgrounds.

Our team:

You will be based in our London office as part of our global energy modelling team at BloombergNEF: the world's leading independent provider of analysis, tools, data and research to decision makers leading change in the energy system and related industries. With the unique depth and breadth of our comprehensive BNEF platform, we help clients stay on top of, and see opportunities in, a rapidly changing world.

BNEF Team Ethos:

To succeed at BNEF we need people who can work in an independent manner and show initiative to develop their own viewpoints, yet be collaborative with colleagues.

• Work closely with colleagues specialising in sectors such as wind, solar, power markets, storage and advanced transport to develop insights in markets around the world through quantitative modelling
• Translate complex modelling concepts into functional and robust tools, and craft and engineer them to be clear and easy to use, and relevant to our clients’ needs
• Author, publish and present supporting methodology, user guides and research reports in clear English and with graphics for both internal and external client and prospect audiences
• Value diversity of perspective and be open to new approaches and ways of thinking

What's the role?

• You will join us as an energy modelling analyst within the modelling team, reporting to the Head of Modelling, all based in London
• As part of a team, you will develop, maintain and support quantitative Excel-based models and other computational tools to facilitate both internal research and for our clients to download and use in their daily work
• Develop supporting code in high-level programming languages such as VBA or Python

• A rigorous approach to accuracy, validation and testing
• A graduate degree in a scientific, engineering, economics or humanities discipline
• An ability to think critically and develop thoughtful opinions and approaches by cutting through data noise, questioning its veracity, extracting key patterns, adopting constructive scepticism of industry participants and asking insightful questions
• Curiosity and the ability to quickly understand, distil and relate complex topics to non-specialist audiences
• Excellent time management skills and confidence working on multiple projects concurrently

We'd love to see:

• Extensive knowledge of energy: its markets, technologies and policy
• In-depth knowledge of Excel, including advanced formulae, charting and extensive use of VBA
