• Strong financial modelling capability, including experience building, maintaining and interrogating complex models.

n

• An understanding of project economics and the commercial drivers that influence long-term asset value.

• The confidence to work across multiple projects and collaborate with colleagues from different professional backgrounds.

n

• Experience within energy, infrastructure, project finance, valuations, M&A or investment advisory would be particularly relevant; direct renewables experience is attractive but not essential where there is strong adjacent experience.
