Familiarity with CFD, hydraulic and energy network modelling, microgrid analysis, renewable energy modelling, Python for data analysis, and data visualisation tools such as PowerBI or Tableau is beneficial.

You will thrive in a friendly, collaborative culture and be motivated to contribute to impactful projects that support clean growth and sustainable communities.
