To be successful in this role, you will:

• be a motivated student (MBO, HBO or WO) who is interested in further development within finance, business economics, engineering, or an energy related area
• have affinity with research and analytical work, able to learn quickly
• be accessible, pro-active, well-organized with a hands-on and facilitating attitude, intrinsically curious, excellent communicator, and a good team player
• be able to work independently although you will work closely with experienced members of the team
• have an interest in sustainability and the energy transition
• have excellent knowledge of Excel and Microsoft Word
• be fluent in English (both orally and in writing); knowledge of other European languages is an advantage
