What is the Energy Transition and Utilities Accelerate Programme?

The Energy Transition & Utilities (ET&U) pathway of the Accelerate program is tailored for talented graduates who are passionate about helping clients navigate transformations in sectors such as Nuclear, Water, Energy Retail, Central Markets, Energy Networks, and Energy Transition. Our goal is to drive sustainable change by focusing on our clients' future needs and creating business value through innovative solutions.

Intakes:

• Glasgow - September 2025

The Accelerate Programme consists of 2 parts:

• The Institute (circa 3 months)
• The ET&U Academy (circa 18 months)

Your first 3 months of the Accelerate Programme will be spent within The Institute, where you will learn core consulting skills and gain a broad understanding of everything we do at Capgemini Invent within a feed-back rich environment.

Following your time in The Institute, you will join the Energy Transition & Utilities Academy. Please refer to the relevant entry route webpage further details on team structure and information on alignment with your skills and interests.

The Focus of Your Role

As an Associate Consultant, you will embark on an engaging and dynamic journey where you'll develop essential skills that impact how our clients evolve their operations, performance, and goal achievement. You’ll have the chance to work on a diverse range of projects, from large-scale transformation programs to focused advisory assignments. Your role will involve ensuring the successful delivery of projects from start to finish by working flexibly, showcasing your intellectual capabilities, and providing innovative solutions for our clients.

Your day-to-day tasks can vary from:

• Engagement with senior stakeholders
• Conducting analysis of data and/or business requirements
• Designing business strategies
• Through to delivering workshops and collaboratively working in cross-functional teams to drive continuous business performance improvement.

What you will need

We are particularly interested to learn if you have experience or are interested in working in the industries we operate in and are keen to start a career in an environment where you can drive change.

Ideally, you will have some (or all) of the following:

• A natural curiosity in Energy Transition & Utilities and how the sector will impact our future economies and communities as we strive for carbon neutrality.
• A passion for making a real impact with the companies that comprise our critical infrastructure and keep the lights on.
• A desire to work with organisations to drive operational efficiency and customer experience improvements for their employees and customers
• Familiarity with concepts and/or practical experience relating to digital transformation technologies.

At Capgemini Invent, although academics form part of our overall hiring decision, we do not select candidates purely on academic performance. We will assess your suitability for a role using several tools including video interviewing and assessment centres (all currently being held virtually).

Note: You will have lived in the UK for the last 3 years with no more than 6 consecutive month residence outside the UK (in order to meet security clearance requirements).

To drive your own personal development, you will also have access to Capgemini’s existing suite of trainings with 3600+ courses from 160+ internationally recognised universities, all to support your development across all industry critical topics.
