This role offers exposure to high‑profile, cross‑border transactions within a leading platform, with a strong track record in renewables-including onshore wind, offshore wind, and battery storage-while actively expanding into oil & gas and regulated utilities. You will gain hands‑on experience across complex strategic mandates, working closely with senior bankers and clients on execution and origination.

Responsibilities

• Support the execution of M&A, minority investments, and capital‑raising transactions across the Energy sector, with a strong focus on renewables (onshore/offshore wind and energy storage) and growing exposure to oil & gas and regulated utilities.
• Develop and maintain detailed financial models and valuation analyses, including DCF, trading/transaction comparables, and project finance models relevant to infrastructure and energy assets.
• Coordinate transaction processes, including due diligence, data room management, and interaction with key stakeholders such as corporates, infrastructure funds, lenders, and advisors.
• Prepare high‑quality client materials, including pitch books, information memoranda, management presentations, and sector-focused analyses.
• Conduct in‑depth industry research, covering energy transition themes, renewable deployment, regulatory frameworks, and capital flows across infrastructure markets.
• Work closely with Vice Presidents and Directors to support client relationships and origination efforts, contributing to strategic idea generation across both core and growth sectors.
• Assist in reviewing and guiding Analysts' work, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and high standards across all deliverables.

Requirements

• Experience: 3-6 years of investment banking or financial advisory experience, with exposure to Energy, Infrastructure, or Industrials, and a clear interest in renewables and energy transition.
• Technical Skills: Strong financial modelling and valuation capabilities, with familiarity in project-based and asset-heavy business models (e.g. renewables, infrastructure concessions, regulated assets).
• Sector Interest: Demonstrated understanding of renewable energy subsectors (wind, storage), with an interest in developing expertise in oil & gas and regulated utilities.
• Execution Ability: Proven ability to manage multiple work-streams and deliver high‑quality output under tight deadlines.
• Client Exposure: Comfortable working with senior stakeholders, including corporates, infrastructure investors, and private equity sponsors.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex analysis clearly and effectively.
• Analytical Mindset: Strong attention to detail, commercial judgement, and problem‑solving ability.
• International Exposure: Experience working on cross‑border transactions or with international teams is advantageous.
