About the Role:

Grade Level (for internal use):

The Role: Senior Energy Modeler

The Team:

This role sits in the S&P Global Commodity Insights, Energy Scenarios modelling team.  This is a well-established team responsible for producing the data sets used in the Integrated Energy Scenarios (IES) and other consulting activities. This person will be responsible for working with their other members of the team to manage the scenario models: recalibration, new model developments as well as running and maintaining the models to produce the outlook for the IES. This person will also support a portfolio of consulting engagements where the team produces bespoke scenarios and associated analytics for clients and support them throughout the year for their bespoke needs.

The model captures energy demand, supply and trade actions under different policy landscapes for 118 countries along with regional aggregates and the world. The service includes the model outputs alongside periodical analytics, sensitivity visuals and scenario manager functionality. It includes the full energy balances and GHG emissions for multiple sectors and fuels, over short-, medium-, and long-term timeframe (out to 2060). The model uses an internally developed demand solver and Gurobi for supply and trade solves.

The Impact:

This is an important role in one of our fastest growing business areas – Energy Transition. This person will play a key role in delivering our portfolio of energy scenarios consulting work for several Fortune 500 clients. The core scenarios and the consulting work are intertwined in that expertise gained in scenarios modelling is then applied in consulting to create bespoke deliverables for our consulting clients. Additionally, launch of the new Integrated Energy Scenarios (IES) offering in Q1 2025 provides new opportunities to continuously improve the product offering based on the product roadmap that reflects the voice of customer.

If you’re passionate about energy economics and statistical analysis and modeling, then this role is very well suited for you! 

Responsibilities:

• Energy modelling work

  • Help to maintain and update historic energy balances, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data, supply and trade information and other key data sets for a range of countries.

  • Produce energy balance and GHG projections for multiple scenarios based on key drivers that need to be updated and aligned across different teams for a range of countries – including research into the countries’ energy and environmental policies and future supply and trade outlooks.

  • Work with other teams within SPGI to align outlooks, provide input to different projects and produce variations, sensitivities and alternative scenarios.

  • Perform statistical analysis of data sets, including econometric estimations, to refresh estimations and improve the modelling work.

• Reporting

  • Collaborating with key stakeholders to continuously monitor, track, and report country projections – energy balances and GHG emissions

• Customer Management

  • Build strong relationships with customers, including developing relationships for long-term partnerships and value creation

What We’re Looking For:

• University Degree (or equivalent) required in a quantitative field such as Energy, Economics, and Statistics. Master’s Degree strongly preferred

• The ability to mine, model, and interpret multiple large data sets; advanced statistical analysis required and experience of statistical software (the position will require using the EViews econometric software)

• Solid knowledge and experience in advanced energy scenarios modeling; knowledge of demand and supply modeling and linear programming toolsets, e.g., Gurobi desirable

• Proven ability to plan and manage projects and stakeholders, delivering high quality results within planned timescales

• This role will be part of a team spread
