The Energy & Infrastructure Team at Teneo

The Energy & Infrastructure team works closely with the Management Consulting Division, and creates opportunities for team members to:

• Work with leading companies, investors, and governments globally on the top issues impacting their leadership and boards, with a particular focus on seizing growth opportunities and managing risk associated with decarbonization.
• Provide strategic advice at the most senior levels of organizations, using our in-depth understanding of energy and infrastructure sector technology, economics, and policy to support strategy, stakeholder communication, manage risk, access and optimize capital.

This is not "consulting as usual" - as a member of the team, you'll work in small teams and have direct and regular contact with world-leading energy experts and very senior clients on their most urgent issues. We focus on excellence, camaraderie, and client impact. Hours are carefully managed to make this a fulfilling, sustainable career choice.
