Overview

About us

We are the independent expert in assurance and risk management. Driven by our purpose, to safeguard life, property, and the environment, we empower our customers and their stakeholders with facts and reliable insights so that critical decisions can be made with confidence.

As a trusted voice for many of the world’s most successful organizations, we use our knowledge to advance safety and performance, set industry benchmarks, and inspire and invent solutions to tackle global transformations.

About the role

Within the Asset Management team in the Power Grids business area, we support our clients in navigating the Energy Transition and improving their asset management performance.

To strengthen our team, we are looking for a Junior Strategic Asset and Congestion Management Consultant who is enthusiastic and proactive, eager to learn, contribute to high‑quality project delivery, and develop over time into a trusted advisor. In this role, you will support client projects focused on optimising asset and system performance, addressing congestion challenges, and translating technical analyses into practical insights. You will work closely with experienced consultants in multidisciplinary teams responsible for project delivery, knowledge development, and client support.

You bring:

  • A solid technical foundation, with interest in asset management principles and relevant (international) standards;
  • Basic understanding of asset‑related processes in utilities, infrastructure, or industrial environments.
  • Curiosity about digitalisation and the changing energy landscape, with motivation to apply modelling, simulation, and data analysis tools in practical project settings
  • Interest in congestion management or system performance challenges, with the ambition to develop analyses and ideas into practical, real‑world solutions.

What we offer

At DNV, junior consultants are supported in building a strong professional foundation. You start by contributing to complex, high‑impact projects for leading clients across the energy and infrastructure sector, working closely with experienced consultants who provide guidance and coaching. As you grow into a medior role, you take greater ownership of deliverables, contribute more independently to analyses and client discussions, and apply your expertise across a wider range of topics. This development prepares you to progress into a senior consultant role, where you combine deep technical expertise with a strong consulting mindset, shaping project outcomes, supporting colleagues, and contributing to client relationships and thought leadership.

We offer a professional environment that enables this progression through meaningful work. You develop your skills through hands‑on project delivery, structured feedback, cross‑disciplinary collaboration, and access to deep specialist networks. Learning is embedded in day‑to‑day work, allowing you to steadily strengthen your technical capabilities, consulting skills, and professional impact

What sets DNV apart is the close link between purpose and professional consulting work, where project delivery directly contributes to safer, more reliable, and sustainable energy systems. You will be part of an international team of asset management and energy experts, where shared knowledge and high‑quality delivery support continuous learning and development.

As a junior consultant, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Support asset health indexing activities, digitalisation initiatives, and data driven asset insights;
  • Assist in interpreting condition assessments and preparing inputs for planning, budgeting, and decision making;
  • Support project teams by analysing asset management processes and helping translate technical insights into practical improvements in maintenance, compliance, and investment decisions;
  • Contribute to congestion management projects at strategic and tactical levels under guidance of senior consultants;
  • Support proposal development and business development activities;
  • Travel occasionally, nationally and internationally.
