Consultant / Senior Consultant Experience-level position in Energy Transaction Advisory & Due Diligence Full-time position (40h/week)

Job description

Your Mission: Drive high-stakes energy transactions from data room to signing. Your commercial insight and results focus will help investors and lenders make confident, value-creating decisions. As Consultant – Transaction Advisory & Due Diligence, you will be at the heart of AFRY’s Transaction Services in Central and South-Eastern Europe. More specifically, your role will comprise: Lead and deliver commercial, market and technical due diligence assignments for investors, lenders and corporates across buy-side, sell-side, and (re-)financing transactions in the energy sector. Support the full transaction lifecycle — from investment strategy and target screening, through VDR/data-room reviews, management interviews, site visits and Q&A processes, to red-flag and full due diligence reports. Build robust techno-economic models, valuations and revenue/risk analyses to uncover and quantify value drivers, risks and deal-breakers. Provide sharp, actionable insight on CEE and SEE energy markets — renewables, BESS, grids, district heating, hydrogen and conventional generation. Actively drive business development: identify new transaction opportunities, prepare proposals, scope and fee calculations, and nurture relationships with investors, lenders, funds and corporates. Coordinate multi-workstream due diligence teams (commercial, technical, ESG, regulatory) and manage sub-consultants to deliver a seamless one-stop-shop for clients. Provide guidance, mentorship and technical expertise to analysts and junior consultants. Stay ahead of transaction trends, regulatory frameworks and market intelligence across the region. Your Profile – What We Expect We are growing our high-impact Transaction Services team and seek transaction- and results-driven professionals with a passion for deals and the energy transition. The ideal candidate brings: Above-average university degree (or equivalent) in Economics, Business, Finance, Energy, Engineering, or Mathematics/Statistics/Econometrics or a related field. Minimum 3 years of relevant experience in transaction advisory, due diligence, corporate finance/M&A, or energy consulting — with a proven track record in energy and transaction advisory work being essential. Hands-on experience delivering commercial/market due diligence and transaction support, ideally for lenders and investors. Strong quantitative skills, with the ability to structure complex, abstract problems. Exceptional project-management skills, with the ability to deliver multiple fast-paced transactions simultaneously and to tight deadlines. A results-driven, entrepreneurial and deal-oriented mindset — you thrive under pressure and take ownership from mandate to closing. Very good command of the MS Office package, in particular Excel, PowerPoint and Word. Excellent written and oral communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex ideas to clients and stakeholders. Professional fluency in English (oral and written) is a must; additional Eastern European language skills (e.g. Bulgarian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian/Croatian) are a clear advantage, and German knowledge would be very relevant in our business. You are eager to support energy transactions but think you do not fulfil all of the above-mentioned criteria? Still, feel free to apply, as we strive to be open for new viewpoints and strengthen our multi-disciplinary approach. Your Benefits - What’s in it for you? Step into a high-impact environment where your drive and ambition are not just valued—they’re essential for shaping the future of the energy sector. Here, you won’t just follow—you’ll lead transformative transactions, set strategic direction, and see your results move the needle for clients and the industry at large. We offer a fast-paced, entrepreneurial culture fuelled by challenge and growth, with a direct path toward leadership roles and influence over major decisions. You’ll join an international team where your expertise is recognised, and your achievements are rewarded with a competitive, performance-driven compensation package. Expect flexible working models that empower you to deliver results your way, along with tangible rewards like an above-market salary, lunch allowance on workdays, and a Vienna public transport card for seamless mobility. Interested? Please send us your CV and letter of motivation plus any other relevant credentials in support of your application until August 12th, 2026 . Short-listed and professionally qualified candidates will be invited to a recruitment day at our office in Vienna on August 19th, 2026 , where you will learn about AFRY in more detail and your further potential and suitability will be assessed.
