At Guidehouse, our Commercial EU team works with energy companies, infrastructure operators, governments, industrial companies and other corporates across energy-intensive sectors. We support clients facing regulatory change, evolving markets, grid constraints, decarbonisation challenges and the growing role of data and digital solutions. This Utrecht-based role is for a strong MSc graduate (or BSc with relevant consulting experience) who wants to build deep energy-transition expertise. The focus is Dutch energy clients, with selected work in adjacent sectors.
