Senior consultant European energy markets

What you will do

As a Senior Consultant for the International Energy Sector you support project teams that work on the integration of the European electricity market. These teams need to define and design the international cooperation by e.g. developing methods, processes, IT and contracts. Eventually, these processes of different electricity organisations in Europe need to come together, and this under a challenging timeframe.

Your role? You are the Project Management Officer (PMO), the independent driving force of these teams. As Senior Consultant you use your project management experience to guide them in their process to achieve results despite the large differences between the organisations, their different interests and ways of working. Primarily, you are a project manager, who offers structure and clarity in highly complex situations. From a neutral position you ensure that decisions are made and progress is achieved. Secondly, you add value by proposing new solutions where necessary and feasible. As you are already comfortable leading larger groups of clients from a to b, you can add more value by getting a better understanding of the in-depth discussions aiming to use this to support decision-making. Thirdly, you get to know the context better and understand individual positions of the parties which will allow you to also facilitate the process on a more diplomatic level. We call this business diplomacy, which is used to achieve consensus between the different stakeholders.
