We employ close to 3,000 people across more than 20 countries, delivering innovative and sustainable solutions to complex challenges. Our vision is to create a safe and sustainable world.

We are seeking Analyst Consultants with a background in natural sciences, economics, engineering, or geography to join our vibrant multinational Policy, Strategy and Economics (PSE) Practice. You will work on cutting-edge policy studies for clients including the European Commission, national governments, international financial institutions, trade associations, and companies.

This role involves supporting project delivery through data analysis, stakeholder engagement, literature reviews, and report writing. You will manage multiple projects, collaborate with senior colleagues, and contribute to actionable solutions addressing climate-focused policy, strategy, and economics challenges. Areas of focus include carbon markets, carbon border adjustment mechanisms, industrial decarbonisation and competitiveness, just energy transition, energy-related product performance, carbon capture, utilisation and storage, hydrogen, energy communities, and energy markets.

Ricardo offers a dynamic work environment where you will work closely with senior consultants on impactful projects across Europe and beyond. You will benefit from hands-on mentorship, tailored learning opportunities, and a supportive team culture that values collaboration and knowledge sharing.

We are committed to wellbeing and work-life balance, offering flexible working arrangements and wellbeing initiatives including mental health first aiders and an Employee Assistance Programme.

Requirements

Experience
Educational and/or employment experience in energy and climate change disciplines is essential. Strong quantitative and qualitative research skills are required to support evidence-based solutions.

About you

Qualifications
An MSc degree (or near completion) in Science, Law, Engineering, Economics, Geography, or related fields. Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Word. Fluency in English is required; Spanish is required for roles based in Madrid, and additional languages are a plus.
