Do you have a passion for innovation driven by digitalisation and decarbonisation, and want to solve complex challenges in the energy industry?

Here at DNV, what we do matters. Whether it's helping the Energy Industry transition to a more decarbonised and sustainable future or helping safeguard life, property and the environment, every day, what you do will make a difference. This is our shared purpose and one our people are proud to be part of.

We're also at the heart of the digital transformation, having secured several exciting, high-profile digitalization projects, with clients across the Energy sector. To accelerate this transformation, we're expanding our capabilities to enhance and grow our energy systems digitalisation services and expertise.

As part of our team, you'll play a key role in transforming how the Energy industry leverages value from digital technologies across all energy vectors – from power grids to gas networks; from energy production to storage.  From AI to data science; from digital twinning approaches to complex sensing and automation techniques; you'll need to be knowledgeable, experienced and capable of leading engagements with customers on these topics.

Our Opportunity:

Our Digital Energy team in the UK and Ireland helps customers in the energy industry prepare for the future by building trust in their digital assets and delivering data-driven insights that enhance performance and ensure compliance.

As organizations invest heavily in AI and other digital technologies, many face challenges in proving the trustworthiness of these innovations to stakeholders. This is the trust gap that DNV seeks to close through new services and recommended practices for the safe application of industrial AI and other digital solutions such as digital twins. By demonstrating the safety and trustworthiness of these technologies, we empower our customers to fully leverage these digital solutions, boosting their efficiency and profitability. We call this Digital Trust.

Assurance of digital assets and systems is a core element of the DNV strategy. As a Principal Consultant, you'll take on senior-level responsibility within a growing team of creative thinkers who thrive operating at the intersection of digital technology and the energy system, to make a real impact on the future of our planet.  You'll lead projects, customer engagements and workshops, while mentoring less experienced colleagues.

Working with customers and technology companies in the energy industry across the entire value chain (e.g. decarbonization, renewables, power grids, transmission and distribution), you'll adopt a solutions-led approach to enriching the value and capability of our client-facing activities:

Key Responsibilities

• Lead digital assurance projects, including AI and digital twin technologies.
• Provide advisory services on digital technology adoption and development.
• Conduct audits of customer processes, practices, and codebases.

Based from either our London, Glasgow or Bristol offices, you'll be given responsibility from day one, collaborating with forward-thinking customers and technical experts across our business to deliver career and industry-defining projects. You will be given the time to build your network, the resources to support your development, and the freedom to satisfy your curiosity and desire to learn.

We're seeking candidates who are passionate about working at the intersection of technology and the energy system within a relatively small yet creative team.
