Job description

Responsibilities
This role offers a hybrid work arrangement. You'll spend three days a week in the office, giving you the flexibility to work remotely for two days
The Sargent & Lundy Consulting (SLC) group provides comprehensive technical, financial, and strategic advisory services for energy sector clients, including utilities, independent power producers (IPPs), project developers, lenders, investors, government agencies, and system operators.
As part of our team, you will help clients navigate the energy transition from new generation and grid modernization to data center energy campus development and strategic planning. You will work on high-impact projects, collaborate with industry-leading technical experts, and build a career in energy and infrastructure consulting.
In this role, you will help clients define and execute strategies for new and existing power projects and support clients with improving their business operations. You'll work on multidisciplinary teams that combine consulting and engineering expertise to deliver rigorous analysis and practical recommendations. Key responsibilities may include:
  • Supporting project development and strategic planning, including market, technology, and policy assessments.
  • Leading and contributing to project economic and cost analyses, risk assessments, and contracting strategies.
  • Supporting or managing technical due diligence and owner's engineering reviews for power and energy projects.
  • Providing client program and project management support, including improving governance, business processes, controls, and stakeholder alignment.
  • Developing conceptual plans in coordination with Sargent & Lundy's technical teams.
  • Preparing and presenting project implementation strategies and plans to client executives and project teams.
  • Translating complex technical findings into clear, client-ready deliverables, including presentations and written reports.

The successful candidate will bring prior consulting experience, strong analytical skills, and energy-sector knowledge to help clients navigate an evolving energy landscape. You will work on projects involving new generation development, grid modernization, renewable integration, and new load growth, with exposure to both technical details and executive-level decisions. This is a full-time, client-facing position with extensive exposure to technical experts across the firm.
Qualifications
We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position.
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, economics, finance, business, public policy, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in the energy/power industry, including experience in a consulting, advisory, or analytical role.
  • Prior management consulting or advisory experience with a consulting firm, advisory practice, or consulting role within an engineering firm or energy company, including direct client interaction and responsibility for analytical work products.
  • Demonstrated experience working with electric or gas utilities, independent power producers, project developers, grid operators, or energy investors.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including comfort working with quantitative models, large data sets, and financial or economic analysis.
  • Proven ability to produce clear, well-structured deliverables (Excel models, PowerPoint decks, and written reports) and to communicate complex topics to non-technical audiences.
  • Experience participating in client meetings, workshops, or presentations; comfort engaging directly with client stakeholders.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines in a fast-paced, project-based consulting environment.
  • High level of initiative, ownership, and accountability, with a track record of delivering quality work products with limited supervision.

Valued but not required skills and experience:
  • Experience in technical due diligence and owner's engineering design reviews of power projects.
  • Understanding of power station operations and performance, including key operational and financial drivers.
  • Understanding of electric utility business models, planning processes, and operations.
  • Experience with economic evaluation, cost analysis, and contract development (e.g., PPAs, EPC contracts, O&M agreements).

Depending on the role, employees may use data, automation, artificial intelligence, and other digital tools to support research, analysis, engineering and design activities, workflow improvement, or other aspects of their work.
