Opportunities at Aurora

Have an impact on the global transition to a cleaner, more efficient energy system

In countries around the world, the energy system is decarbonising, decentralising and digitalising. At Aurora, you will help companies and governments make better decisions to navigate this transition by providing independent analysis and insights.

Your thinking will contribute to tackling some of the biggest energy challenges, including climate change, access to electricity, and the cost and security of energy supplies.

Apply and develop your problem-solving, communications and analytical skills
At Aurora, you will apply the skills you have developed through your studies to solving some of our clients’ most interesting and intricate problems.

Through a mix of structured training programmes and on-the-job learning, we will help you raise your abilities to the next level, preparing you to build trusting relationships with clients, develop new business opportunities, nurture teams and communicate complex ideas with crystal clarity. 

Our Graduate Analyst Programme

For recent graduates joining Aurora’s Austin office, we offer the opportunity to receive mentorship and training for an immediate hands-on role. We offer a programme designed to provide:

  • Accelerated training in how energy markets work
  • Involvement in live client projects
  • An opportunity to contribute to some of the most influential reports in the industry
  • A chance to build up your toolkit of analytical, teamwork and communication skills
  • An understanding of how Aurora fits together and of the opportunities in the company

As our team is expanding, we have a number of graduate-level positions available within the following departments at Aurora: 

  • Advisory: executing bespoke consulting projects for clients
  • Research: developing market forecast reports and original in-depth research on the future of energy systems

Your position will be allocated based on both your interests and the needs of the business at the time.

We endeavour to expose you to work across different teams to give you a broad sense of Aurora’s business.

“Among the many things you learn on your first day at Aurora are our core values and I found one particularly interesting: "Courage to Err, Tenacity to deliver". I've immersed myself in the company's ethos and I've found reasons why the graduate programme is a fantastic launchpad for a career in energy. Asides the expertise of colleagues at all levels, as a graduate, you are encouraged to experiment, learn from your mistakes and expect constructive feedback from a supportive team. I've been able to learn as much as I have because of this value, which I am reminded of in every team I've rotated through. It's a mindset that has given me the confidence to take on new challenges and make the most of every opportunity the programme has offered.”
