Trading Business Analyst - Energy and Utilities

Cognizant Consulting

At Cognizant, our consultants orchestrate the capabilities to truly change the game across strategy, design, technology and industry/functional knowledge to deliver insight at speed and solutions at scale. Our consulting services elevate the unique abilities and business aspirations of customers and employees and build relationships based on trust and value.

While energy & utilities clients globally continue to transform themselves on the energy transition journey, Cognizant's consulting team is helping them shape the transformation agenda and also playing a critical role in delivering large scale digital transformation programmes for our customers. We work with our clients on enabling energy transition across the value chain with specific capabilities on green energy & services initiatives (electric vehicles, heat pumps etc.), enhanced customer experience (through digital and data enablement), and most importantly digitalisation of the aging grid/metering infrastructure.
