Posted on the Senna Private Equity Careers Network.

Overview

This role sits within the Forestry and Biomass practice of a global consulting firm, contributing to national and international projects that address strategic and operational challenges across forestry, natural resources, and agriculture. The firm works across the energy, bioindustry, infrastructure, industrial, and future mobility sectors, delivering strategic advice, market analysis, organisational transformation, and sustainability consulting to clients worldwide.

You will join a team of consultants engaged in complex, high-impact assignments, applying both quantitative and qualitative analysis to help clients navigate business-critical questions in the forestry and biomass markets.

Key Responsibilities

  • Contribute to challenging national and international consulting projects focused on forestry and biomass markets.
  • Conduct in-depth market research and investigate complex strategic and operational topics related to forestry, natural resources, and agriculture.
  • Analyse public and private databases to generate meaningful, evidence-based insights.
  • Perform quantitative and qualitative analysis across a range of project types and client contexts.
  • Develop high-quality presentations and reports that communicate findings clearly and logically.
  • Present results and recommendations to national and international clients in meetings and workshops.
  • Collaborate effectively within project teams, across offices, and internationally.

Skills & Experience

  • A strong academic degree in Forestry, Agriculture, Natural Resource Management, or a related field; early-career professionals from adjacent disciplines with a genuine interest in the global forestry and biomass industry are also encouraged to apply.
  • A solid understanding of forest ecosystems and forestry industry value chains is advantageous.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to tackle complex problems and draw structured, data-driven conclusions.
  • High attention to detail and proficiency in MS Office applications; additional programming skills are a welcome asset.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to present complex information clearly to varied audiences; additional languages are an advantage.
  • Ability to work independently, take initiative, and manage deliverables against budgets and deadlines in a client-facing environment.
  • A business-oriented mindset with enthusiasm for working in a fast-paced, collaborative, and internationally diverse setting.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Exposure to complex, high-profile projects spanning multiple geographies and sectors within the forestry and biomass space.
  • Access to a broad international network of consultants and sector experts across a global consulting firm with a significant presence in design, engineering, and digitalisation.
  • The opportunity to contribute meaningfully to sustainability-driven work with real-world impact for clients and society.
  • A collaborative team culture that values initiative, intellectual curiosity, and continuous development.

Application Process

Interested candidates should apply with a current CV and any supporting materials that demonstrate relevant academic or professional experience. Applications from early-career professionals with a strong interest in forestry and biomass markets are welcomed alongside those with direct sector experience.
