You've just finished a master's, or you have a couple of years of work experience, and you're hungry to get going. You pick things up quickly, you're happy to get stuck into problems you haven't seen before, and you crack on without waiting to be told. We care more about drive and curiosity than a long CV.
Customers are the heart of this role. You'll own a set of customer relationships from early on, helping them get set up in Gridcog, model their projects well and get real value from the platform.

You won't get everything right first time round and nobody expects you to. Moving quickly matters more to us than getting it perfect.
You'll have plenty of support from colleagues in Berlin, London, Madrid and Australia, and you'll learn more in your first year here than you would in most graduate schemes.

- A master's in energy, engineering, economics or a similar field, or up to three years' experience in the energy sector
