Purpose of the Job:
The role combines financial modeling, commercial analysis and market research. You will help turn project data, technical inputs and market developments into analyses that support pricing, investment and management decisions.
Working under the guidance of the Business Analysis Section Head and senior team members, you will collaborate with Business Development, Finance, Investment, Project Development and Technical teams. You will take increasing ownership of defined analyses as your technical skills and commercial understanding develop.
