Management Consulting Associate/Senior Associate - ​Energy, Utilities and Resources (EU&R) practice

Job Description & Summary

PwC is looking for a Senior Associate or Associate in Management Consulting to join our Energy, Utilities and Resources (EU&R) consulting practice in Southeast Europe.

This is a client-facing consulting role for candidates who can structure problems, analyze data, develop recommendations, independently manage project workstreams and stay up to date with latest energy trends – not a specialized sales / commercial, PMO or technical-execution role (e.g. GHG specialist, EIA specialist, technical engineer).

What You’ll Do

• Support strategy, transformation and performance-improvement projects for energy, utilities and resources clients, covering energy transition, renewable energy, power and gas markets, energy infrastructure, decarbonisation and new energy solutions
• Identify improvements in operating models, processes, governance, data use and technology enablement across energy and utility organizations
• Develop business cases, feasibility studies and market-entry strategies
• Conduct quantitative and qualitative analyses, translating complex findings via problem structuring into clear business implications and client-ready recommendations
• Work in a project team, independently responsible for own work or project workstreams, often on client site and in close collaboration with client teams
• Support the design and facilitation of workshops and interviews with client management and key stakeholders
• Contribute to proposals, client presentations, market research, thought leadership and the continued development of our EU&R practice, collaborating with PwC specialists across the network

What we expect from you

• 2–5 years of relevant experience in a comparable role in the energy sector; management consulting experience is an advantage. The level is determined by experience and demonstrated capabilities
• Experience in, or strong exposure to, one or more energy segments, including power and utilities, renewable energy, oil and gas, infrastructure, energy services or related sectors
• Good understanding of key energy-sector trends, including energy transition, decarbonisation, renewables, flexibility, electrification, market reform, regulation and/or digitalisation
• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills with complex quantitative and qualitative information, and the ability to translate analysis into clear, practical recommendations and concise management-level communication, not only reports, models or dashboards
• Experience preparing business cases, financial or scenario analyses, executive presentations, transformation roadmaps or management decision materials
• Commercial and financial understanding of revenue, cost, investment, profitability, market, regulatory and operational-performance drivers.
• For Senior Associate candidates, demonstrated ability to independently manage a project workstream, analytical package or stakeholder group and to guide junior team members
• Confident communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary and international teams
• Advanced Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint skills; experience with data analytics, energy modelling or visualisation tools is an advantage
• Professional fluency in English; Croatian or another Southeast European language at native or professional level is required
• Willingness to travel across Southeast Europe when needed

Candidates from specialist, technical, commercial or operational backgrounds should demonstrate broader business exposure, including the ability to structure business questions, translate analysis into recommendations and communicate with senior stakeholders.
