We are looking for a new colleague with experience in the commercial domain of the energy sector, i.e. at energy suppliers and/or trading organizations. As a consultant, you'll directly start at one of our clients and play a role in the transition of the Energy sector towards the "New Energy Reality". This new reality is characterised by new ways of energy generation, transportation, distribution, and changing customer behaviour.
