Senior Consultant Energy Transition

Join a team working toward 100% positive impact through projects in 2024. For people and planet.

As a senior consultant energy transition, you will accelerate change in companies, working for energy companies as well as production and mobility companies, and guiding them through the necessary changes towards a sustainable energy system. We’re looking for a consultant with 3+ years working experience in performance, change, and/or sustainability.

Are you in?

What are we looking for?

• Master’s degree, preferably in business, energy, sustainability, or technical subjects.
• 3+ years experience as a consultant in a consulting firm or as internal consultant for a big company.
• You’re eager to work on the energy transition; it’s a plus if you already have experience.
• Experience in performance improvement, change management, or sustainability.
• You’re able to work with lots of different people without compromising your core values.
• Your English is immaculate. Great if your Dutch is good too.
• You’re an EU resident or in possession of a working permit for The Netherlands.

Is this what you’re looking for?

• Putting sustainability first in your work as a consultant – for real
• Good salary, a bonus depending on (team) performance, and a sign-on bonus that compensates your personal CO2 emissions for 1 year. Plus, an excellent pension scheme.
• Flexible working: at client offices, at our office, at home. We value a good work-life balance and efficient use of your precious time.
• A professional and comprehensive learning & development program. Plus a personal development budget to foster your unique talents.
• Sustainable mobility scheme, laptop, and cell phone.
• 25 holidays and option for flexible use of national holidays.
• Working in a team of enthusiastic and motivated consultants who work on various projects in the energy transition.
• Sharing knowledge, developing new services, and building a valuable network.
• Working in a small and fast-paced organisation that stimulates learning together, taking initiative, and volunteering.

What will you be doing?

You speed up changes at key players in the energy transition. Mostly by working on performance improvement projects, which always incorporate environmental and social performance.

You head your own project or work stream. This way, you develop fast. You shape the project’s contents, together with the project manager. You facilitate workshops and trainings. You are responsible for planning, quality, and results. You will also guide less experienced consultants.

As part of the energy transition team, you share insights and work on our company’s services in the energy transition. You build and maintain your own relevant network and help prepare sales conversations and quotes.

A day in the life of a Senior Consultant

Meet Gijs-Jan Otten

“This Tuesday, I’m working at our client’s office. A grid operator that wants to improve its teams’ performance. Since the office is close to the station, I travel by train.

Today, I facilitate a workshop to identify improvement potential in their processes. Not just financial performance, but also social and environmental performance. Yesterday, I prepared the workshop with our client. I start at 08.30, making sure all materials are in place. At 09.00 the workshop participants join, and we start the session. We use all morning to go through the processes and assess where we can make most impact. At 12.30 I go for lunch with some of the workshop participants.

After lunch, I join a meeting with other Been consultants who all work on projects for this client. We help each other by sharing information and spotting new opportunities. I use the rest of the afternoon to recap the workshop outcomes and I evaluate the workshop with my Been project manager.

At 17.30, I take the train back home. I use my time to prepare for Friday’s intervision session with other (senior) consultants. We help each other in our personal and professional development, with the help of an external coach.”
