ESG Research Internship
We are looking for ambitious individuals to help us expand our databases that track global oil activity and its link to energy transition efforts.
There are three different areas of focus for interns. One includes the building of financial models for oil and gas assets, which then allows for the calculation of gas emissions. Another includes study projects and data acquisition on gas emissions from across the globe. A third includes primary research on oil and gas operations to better understand the global supply forecasts.
Within all of these different projects, you will work directly with the Regional Head and gain feedback and an understanding of the energy industry. Both the financial modelling experience and the research experience are extremely relevant for careers in banking, consulting and the wider energy sector.
