We work with a range of clients from across the energy value chain, covering utilities, oil & gas companies, network companies, commodities traders, industrials and institutional investors; to help them successfully navigate the energy transition. Baringa is differentiated through its ability to leverage our fundamental understanding of market, technical, commercial and regulatory drivers of value and risk to help clients develop projects, deploy capital or launch new products and services that help decarbonize our economy.

What you will be doing
Deep decarbonization of "hard-to-abate" sectors - industrial process & manufacturing, heavy goods transport, waste management - will require the deployment of novel technologies and value chains that are currently in their infancy; Hydrogen, E-Fuels, Biofuels, Carbon Capture and Storage. We are building a market leading multidisciplinary "Clean Molecules" team that brings investment grade market, technical, regulatory and commercial advice to client mandates across the project investment lifecycle; from understanding these emerging and interconnected market opportunities, to optimizing the development and investment approach for specific projects or portfolios; with the ultimate aim of helping unlock capital to these (often) first-of-a-kind projects and create value across these complex value chains. We are a flexible and non-hierarchical team with a collaborative and curious ethos and a global perspective.

We are looking to hire people to deliver the most exciting strategy and commercial engagements advising Oil & Gas companies, utilities, IPPs, developers, financial investors and lenders. Our strategy and commercial proposition cover, among others, the following:
