An overview of the role:

The Energy Networks industry is continuing to experience unprecedented change. The impact of digital disrup-tion is increasing across all parts of the energy value chain, and at the same time regulators are shifting to focus on consumer outcomes. We have an important role to play: The need to understand, design and implement change based on drivers including climate change, decarbonisation of the energy sector, energy storage, new economic models, and new technology are increasing, alongside our core capabilities of customer experience transformation, asset and operations transformation, cost reduction and operating model transformation.  


Some of our recent work has included creating the future operating model for our client’s UK operations, de-signing an award winning future customer experience for the competitive arm of a water sector client, deliver-ing a multi-year and multi-dimension change programme for an energy distribution company, and leading the global implementation of change for an energy-technology business.  We have also built blockchain prototypes, written thought leadership on the future role of Distribution Systems Operators and deployed agile at scale for new customer experiences through digital channels. 


In this role, you will work with our Energy Networks clients to shape their journey, co-designing and supporting their transformation. We are looking for enthusiastic consultants experienced in the delivery of Change to join our Utilities Sector Team and you will be part of the Sector Transformation team delivering successful end to end transformation programmes with our clients.  

 
Consultants in this role will be dynamic in their approach and able to manage change with personality, precision, and predictability to help realise measurable, positive business outcomes. You will focus on the transfer of ca-pability and contribute to the strategic direction of the Capgemini Invent Sector Transformation team, coaching and developing others as well as applying your skills in business development activities. 
 

The work:

No matter the project or customer, your work will have a meaningful impact on society, businesses and lives. It’s really rewarding. And it’s also really varied. You’ll potentially work on a huge variety of projects (some larger than others), so you could gain lots of experience in a short amount of time.

Why this role?

As a Consultant in the business you’ll help set the direction, driving forward the business, model our values and behaviours, and coach and develop junior members of the team.  Key expectations from this role include:
 

 

You will help our clients design and develop solutions which digitise and optimise processes across the value chain, across a variety of directorates. You will form part of an experienced and flexible project delivery team who have real life industry transformation experience, helping clients to realise benefits and transform pro-cesses, operations and behaviours which will lead to improved efficiency, improved customer experience and improved business outcomes.  


As part of your role you will also have the opportunity to contribute to the business and your own personal growth, through activities that form part of the following categories:

  • Business Development – Leading/contributing to proposals, RFPs, bids, proposition development, client pitch contribution, client hosting at events.
  • Internal contribution – Campaign development, internal think-tanks, whitepapers, practice development (operations, recruitment, team events & activities), offering development.
  • Learning & development – Training to support your career development and the skills demand within the company, certifications etc.

We’d love to meet someone with:

Great communication skills, the ability to facilitate world class workshops and maintain regular stakeholder en-gagement are always important, but that’s only part of the story. Change management and Operating Model design includes working with leaders, reshaping organisational roles and aligning performance management targets as well as understanding the cultural/demographic barriers that could get in the way of transformation. In the Energy Networks industry, it also includes delivering change that embeds mobile ways of working in a digital world and supporting all relevant stakeholder groups to understand the importance of data and analytics in supporting improvements to the end customer’s journey. 


 
You’ll bring experience of delivering sustainable change from a range of clients within the Energy Networks industry as well as an agile mindset with an understanding of the relevant tools and techniques. You’ll bring an acute sense of market trends and hot topics about the challenges facing our clients in delivering lasting and sus-tainable change and leverage your insight to advise our clients. In addition, you’ll have the following experience and personal attributes: 


 
You’ll have a good grounding in some or all the following areas:  

  • Change strategy: Defining the desired future state of an organisation or function based on the change programme; and designing the change programme itself, including specific initiatives in areas such as definition of essential behaviours, business readiness, communications strategy, learning strategy and the approach to leveraging analytics and measurement tools and methodologies 
  • Behavioural Change: Defining the desired behaviours from the organisation and putting in place a be-havioural measurement and tracking capability 
  • Enablement: Stakeholder analysis; change impact assessment; change measurement and analytics; communications and stakeholder management; training and performance support; focusing on knowledge transfer to the organisation to sustain BAU

Personal attributes: 
To be successful, you’ll be intellectually strong and can evidence the depth and breadth of your critical thinking and are a highly motivated self-starter, bringing a proactive, can-do attitude to project delivery, capable of working independently as well as in teams in our collaborative but sometimes demanding project environ-ment.  You’ll need to be credible, with the gravitas to engage effectively with clients on a peer-to-peer ba-sis.  You’ll enjoy managing client delivery work packages and building your team leadership skills, providing di-rection, and helping others to develop.  In fact, you’ll thrive in this environment.   You’ll demonstrate consulting professionalism, resilience, and flexibility - you’ll be able to adjust positively to situations that involve changing tasks and/or location, shifting priorities or ambiguity.
