Managing consultant European energy markets

What you will do

As a Managing Consultant for the European Energy markets you lead project teams that work on the integration of the European electricity & gas markets. These teams need to define and design the international cooperation by e.g. developing methods, processes, IT and contracts. Eventually, these processes of different organisations in Europe need to come together, which is a huge challenge.

Your role? You are the Project Management Officer (PMO), the independent driving force of these teams. You guide them in their process to achieve results despite the large differences between the organisations, their different interests and ways of working. From a neutral position you ensure that decisions are made and progress is achieved. You add value by proposing new solutions where necessary and feasible. We call this business diplomacy, which is used to achieve consensus between the different stakeholders. Primarily, you are a project manager, who offers structure and clarity in complex situations.

In short, an highly challenging and diverse role for someone who wants to work at the intersection of project management and energy transition, and who wants to have a real impact. And an excellent next step to enrich your career with international experience, large-scale projects, and a high degree of complexity.
