Job Description

Role Purpose

Wood Mackenzie Power and Renewables provides integrated subscription, research and advisory services to inform and support our client’s commercial and strategic decisions in the complex and rapidly changing electric power industry.

Combining our deep knowledge of solar, wind, storage, and grid technologies, with our global power and fuels modelling and analytical capabilities, Wood Mackenzie can provide data and insight spanning supply chain, technology costs, policy and market issues, fundamentals-based outlooks, price forecasting, asset valuation, and commodity market issues.

This role will serve as part of Wood Mackenzie’s Power and Renewables team, with a focus on offshore wind capex modelling. This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing team and play a key role in strengthening our capex modelling and shape market leading tools. You will have a global remit, working in our global offshore wind team. Together with the team, you will provide market intelligence and analysis for companies across the offshore wind value chain, including asset owners, developers, suppliers, and investors. The current volatility in offshore wind capex, and the long-term trajectories of offshore wind component costs, is a major topic across all offshore wind companies. So, through this role, you will not only help companies achieve their strategic goals; you will also have a meaningful impact on the wider energy transition.

Wood Mackenzie is a leading intelligence provider in the offshore wind space.  You will have access to 15+ years of offshore wind research, data, models, and expertise that you will be able to leverage every day. As capex is foundational in much of our research, you will influence research across the wider Wood Mackenzie business.
