Description

Imagine our world in five years. In twenty. When you retire. How will the climate be? What energy will we use? What technologies will we rely on?

It takes years for a major energy project to progress from the initial idea to the start of construction and then decades of operation thereafter. A project that you work on today may very well retire after you do.

At io consulting, we can influence these future outcomes – one project at a time – and we are driven by a passion and a desire to solve the complex technical challenges of the energy transition. To identify the best projects. To select the best technologies. To reduce emissions. To protect value. It’s why we exist and we’re proud of the work we do and excited by our future.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for an individual to join our team to help our clients navigate through the changes and challenges of the energy transition. You will help to conceptualise multi-million to billion dollar energy projects in the earliest stages of planning. You will learn how to tackle the big engineering, design and investment decisions that have a cascading impact through a project’s lifecycle.

You will become a project architect, working in a team of experts to steer projects in the right direction. It’ll be challenging, it’ll be rewarding, you can shape your future at io and you can transform some major projects along the way.

We are looking for a Chemical Engineering student who is eligible to work in the UK / Abu Dhabi and who intends to work towards Chartership. We don’t mind if you’re outgoing or introverted. We just want an individual who is eager to learn and contribute and who is willing to ride the peaks and the troughs.

What you will be doing

We are a small tight-knit team and you’ll be working with everyone in the company, from the management team to the projects team. You’ll learn from our specialist engineering disciplines in dynamic simulation, flow assurance and technical safety, as well as environmental and social consultancy, economic and commercial analysis and business development. You’ll be helping to win work, facilitate workshops, run process simulations, create block flow diagrams, inform cost estimation, support study managers with project controls and a whole lot more.

What type of company you’ll join

io consulting is a joint venture between two tier one companies, McDermott and Baker Hughes. We may be small but we have the support and access into two of the leading energy service companies in the world.

So if you’re concerned that you’ll be ‘just another cog in the wheel’ of a big brand name but you also don’t want the uncertainty that comes with a smaller company then you’ll be in good company here.

We see ourselves as sitting in the ‘goldilocks zone’ between the large strategic consultancy firms who can be engineering ‘light’ and the engineering design houses who can get lost in the technical detail. At io you can put that MEng Chemical Engineering degree into actual practice whilst also developing yourself into a multi-disciplined consultant.

Where you’ll be located

The role will be based in London with hybrid working.
