Job Description
Turn complex models into commercial clarity AECOM's Energy Advisory practice uses quantitative and techno-economic modelling to underpin the advice we give clients on energy transition, market design, investment and policy decisions. As our practice grows, we're looking for a Quantitative Modeller who can work hands-on across a range of modelling approaches from established energy market and dispatch tools through to bespoke, purpose-built models and translate that analysis into commercially grounded advice for clients. This is a client-facing role working closely with a senior advisory team. You'll need to be comfortable working independently, engaging directly with clients, and always connecting your modelling outputs back to the commercial question at hand. We're open to a wide range of experience above our 5-year minimum for a more senior candidate, there's genuine scope to grow into a technical leadership role within the team over time.
What you'll be doing
Building, running and interrogating quantitative models techno-economic, energy market and dispatch modelling, multi-sectoral modelling, or other bespoke analytical models with the judgement to choose the right approach for the question at hand Framing modelling exercises around the client's actual decision or advisory question, translating technical outputs into clear commercial insight and recommendations Working independently on modelling tasks with minimal oversight, while knowing when to flag assumptions, limitations or emerging findings to senior team members and clients Presenting technical analysis to non-technical audiences and defending modelling assumptions under scrutiny, with strong written communication to translate methods and findings into clear reports and deliverables Applying your quantitative and problem-structuring skills beyond energy where relevant the underlying capability matters as much as sector-specific tools Contributing to, or leading, broader advisory engagements beyond modelling bringing analytical rigour to non-modelling workstreams as needed For more experienced candidates: leading and developing modelling capability mentoring junior modellers, setting technical standards, and shaping how modelling is positioned within broader advisory engagements Qualifications What you'll bring Minimum 5 years' work experience, including at least 3 years in a quantitative modelling context we welcome candidates well above this minimum, including those ready for technical leadership Experience in quantitative or techno-economic modelling, ideally including energy market/dispatch modelling, multi-sectoral modelling, or bespoke model development Prior experience in an advisory, consulting or client-facing analytical role
