Job description

We are working with an established middle-market investment firm looking to add an Associate to its investment team.

The strategy is centered on businesses benefiting from the continued transformation of the energy sector, with investments spanning power, renewable energy, energy transition and companies across the supporting industrial and services ecosystem.

The firm is entering an active period of deployment, with meaningful capital available to invest and a strong pipeline of opportunities. For an Associate, this creates the chance to join a small, highly engaged deal team where junior investors receive broad transaction exposure and work closely with senior decision-makers.

The Role The successful candidate will be involved throughout the investment process, from the initial assessment of an opportunity through execution and subsequent ownership.

Evaluating new investment opportunities and developing investment theses across the firm's target sectors

Building and analyzing detailed financial models to assess returns, valuation, capital structure and transaction scenarios

Participating in commercial, financial and operational due diligence

Supporting transaction structuring, financing and execution

Producing investment committee analysis and clearly articulating the key merits and risks of an opportunity

Researching companies, subsectors and emerging themes across power and the broader energy transition landscape

Working alongside portfolio company management teams and senior investors following an acquisition

Supporting strategic initiatives, growth opportunities and additional M&A across existing investments

Candidate Profile We are interested in speaking with candidates who have approximately 1–3 years of experience within:

Investment Banking

Private Equity

Infrastructure / Energy investing

Relevant sector exposure could include power, utilities, renewable energy, energy transition, infrastructure, energy services or adjacent industrial sectors.

Candidates should also demonstrate:

Strong financial modeling and valuation capabilities

A solid understanding of transaction analysis and due diligence

The ability to evaluate businesses from both a financial and commercial perspective

Experience preparing high-quality analytical materials and presentations

Strong written and verbal communication skills

Intellectual curiosity and a genuine interest in investing across the evolving energy landscape

The ability to perform effectively within a collaborative, entrepreneurial investment team

Why Consider the Opportunity? This role should particularly appeal to someone who wants greater exposure to the full investment process rather than operating within a narrowly defined execution role.

The combination of a lean team, strong deployment pipeline and available capital should provide Associates with the opportunity to work across multiple investments, develop directly alongside experienced investors and take on increasing responsibility as they progress.

The firm also offers exposure to one of the most active areas of private markets, investing not only in traditional power and renewable assets but also across the businesses, services and supply chains supporting the continued evolution of the energy sector.
