Description Do you enjoy solving real-life problems and learning from industry leading experts? Do you want to work on a variety of projects that touch all aspects of the energy transition? 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. Our highly respected Risk Advisory department in the UK and Ireland is primarily responsible for delivery of consultancy and risk management services. Our team provides high quality services and best practice in risk identification, assessment and mitigation and assist our customers in risk-based decision support. This approach is highly valued in Oil & Gas (upstream, midstream, downstream), the evolving hydrogen sector and in allied areas of Energy transition (Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), renewables). Our Opportunity: As a Graduate Consultant, you’ll join our growing team of experts who love finding innovative solutions to our industry’s most challenging problems. You’ll be given real responsibility from day one, collaborating with forward-thinking customers and technical experts across our business, helping 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 are looking to recruit a number of Graduate Consultants across our Loughborough and Manchester offices, so regardless of which of these key hubs you join your development opportunities are the same, including: Learning how major hazards, their likelihood and consequences are managed; understanding the importance of reliability of safeguards; and how to make balanced risk-based arguments for safe operations Applying consequence and risk assessment methods and tools to solve real customer issues using industry leading software and tools, validated through large/full scale experiments performed at our major hazards testing and research facility in Spadeadam. Gas dispersion studies, advanced computational simulations, and quantitative risk assessments are just a taste of the projects that you will work on The opportunity to actively engage with clients to understand their challenges as they seek to make the Energy industry safer and more sustainable, with a special focus on energy transition challenges Absorb information from experts in daily interactions to understand the industry, the terminology and how different maths, physics and engineering disciplines contribute to safety Additionally, in Loughborough, for those of you with a specific interest in mathematical and physical modelling, there will also be opportunity to develop the models, tools and software that we use in the industry, keeping us at the cutting edge of the energy transition. This will be supported by industry experts, with training in programming and experimental analysis. In Manchester, there is a little more focus on face-to-face interaction with clients through hazard study workshops (e.g. HAZOP), assessing front-line human factors risks, and safety management systems. You’ll be stretched but always supported, so don’t worry if the Energy Industry or terminology above is unfamiliar to you, we will teach you all you need to know. Upon joining, you’ll receive a buddy to help you settle in, a mentor to enhance your technical knowledge, as well as ongoing on-the-job coaching and support from your colleagues.
