Consultant / Senior Consultant (m/w/d) mit Erfahrung im Bereich Energy Transaction Advisory & Due Diligence

Job Description

Your Mission: Drive high-stakes energy transactions from data room to signing. Your commercial insight and results focus will help investors and lenders make confident, value-creating decisions.

As Consultant - Transaction Advisory & Due Diligence, you will be at the heart of AFRY's Transaction Services in Central and South-Eastern Europe. More specifically, your role will comprise:

• Lead and deliver commercial, market and technical due diligence assignments for investors, lenders and corporates across buy-side, sell-side, and (re-)financing transactions in the energy sector.
• Support the full transaction lifecycle - from investment strategy and target screening, through VDR/data-room reviews, management interviews, site visits and Q&A processes, to red-flag and full due diligence reports.
• Build robust techno-economic models, valuations and revenue/risk analyses to uncover and quantify value drivers, risks and deal-breakers.
• Provide sharp, actionable insight on CEE and SEE energy markets - renewables, BESS, grids, district heating, hydrogen and conventional generation.
• Actively drive business development: identify new transaction opportunities, prepare proposals, scope and fee calculations, and nurture relationships with investors, lenders, funds and corporates.
• Coordinate multi-workstream due diligence teams (commercial, technical, ESG, regulatory) and manage sub-consultants to deliver a seamless one-stop-shop for clients.
• Provide guidance, mentorship and technical expertise to analysts and junior consultants.
• Stay ahead of transaction trends, regulatory frameworks and market intelligence across the region.

Qualifications

Your Profile - What We Expect

We are growing our high-impact Transaction Services team and seek transaction- and results-driven professionals with a passion for deals and the energy transition. The ideal candidate brings:

• Above-average university degree (or equivalent) in Economics, Business, Finance, Energy, Engineering, or Mathematics/Statistics/Econometrics or a related field.
• Minimum 3 years of relevant experience in transaction advisory, due diligence, corporate finance/M&A, or energy consulting - with a proven track record in energy and transaction advisory work being essential.
• Hands-on experience delivering commercial/market due diligence and transaction support, ideally for lenders and investors.
• Strong quantitative skills, with the ability to structure complex, abstract problems.
• Exceptional project-management skills, with the ability to deliver multiple fast-paced transactions simultaneously and to tight deadlines.
• A results-driven, entrepreneurial and deal-oriented mindset - you thrive under pressure and take ownership from mandate to closing.
• Very good command of the MS Office package, in particular Excel, PowerPoint and Word.
• Excellent written and oral communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex ideas to clients and stakeholders.
• Professional fluency in English (oral and written) is a must; additional Eastern European language skills (e.g. Bulgarian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian/Croatian) are a clear advantage, and German knowledge would be very relevant in our business.

You are eager to support energy transactions but think you do not fulfil all of the above-mentioned criteria? Still, feel free to apply, as we strive to be open for new viewpoints and strengthen our multi-disciplinary approach.

Step into a high-impact environment where your drive and ambition are not just valued-they're essential for shaping the future of the energy sector. Here, you won't just follow-you'll lead transformative transactions, set strategic direction, and see your results move the needle for clients and the industry at large. We offer a fast-paced, entrepreneurial culture fuelled by challenge and growth, with a direct path toward leadership roles and influence over major decisions.

You'll join an international team where your expertise is recognised, and your achievements are rewarded with a competitive, performance-driven compensation package. Expect flexible working models that empower you to deliver results your way, along with tangible rewards like an above-market salary, lunch allowance on workdays, and a Vienna public transport card for seamless mobility.
