About the role

• Graduate Analyst role for recent graduates at Aurora Energy Research based in Madrid. Rotating through advisory and research departments with training and client involvement opportunities.

Responsibilities

• As a Graduate Analyst, you will have the opportunity to rotate through the following departments:
• - Advisory (Iberia) or Advisory (Latin America): executing bespoke consulting projects for clients
• - Research (Iberia) or Research (Latin America): developing market forecast reports and original in-depth research on the future of energy systems
• Projects include valuations of energy assets, modelling bespoke scenarios and asset configurations and conducting analysis to forecast asset economics for investors, banks, developers and utilities.
• Besides project valuation work, the Advisory team also works with governments and regulators on designing and evaluating energy policy.
• While most projects last for around two weeks, some longer projects, such as multi-client studies or longer pieces of policy work, can take several months.
• Graduate Analysts usually work alongside other analysts, and project teams are made up of one or two analysts, a project manager and a senior associate providing oversight.
• Teams re-form for each new project, so you will get the chance to work with everyone in the wider advisory team.
• Quarterly market forecast reports are the main output of the research team. Each quarter you’ll be updating our latest view of the evolution of the power system to 2060 by modelling energy markets based on the latest assumptions on power demand, commodity prices, market activity and policy.
• This involves a combination of desk research and modelling in collaboration with other teams. The research team also prepares regular mini conferences which involve presenting in-depth and timely analysis of a specific aspect of the market.
• Research teams consist of around 5 analysts, and you’ll work closely with this team throughout the rotation.
• The reports are read by subscribers from across the industry, including developers, utilities, asset optimisers, system operators, policymakers, regulators, and others.
