Analyst - Energy Systems, Morocco

About Us

Fortescue is both a proud West Australian company and a global green solutions business. We are recognised for our culture, innovation and industry-leading development of infrastructure, mining assets and green energy initiatives.

Our Opportunity

Reporting within Decarb Solutions to Project Manager Energy Systems, Fortescue Morocco is seeking a Decarb Analyst who will work in close collaboration with Project Managers across Fortescue Decarb and Fortescue Energy/Fortescue Zero to provide insight, analysis and optimization recommendations that contribute to delivering Renewables Energy and Advisory outcomes for external Fortescue partners and clients – with an initial 18 month focus on project in Morocco. 

This role will include deployment of proprietary energy transition products, for testing or use outside of Fortescue. The role covers a dynamic range of responsibilities such structuring, designing, modelling, analysing and optimising the energy model and forecasts across value chain and production processes, plus preparing compelling storylines and charts as part of executive decision-making processes. The candidate will have a familiarity with technical understanding of renewable power supply and demand and operational energy demand and a willingness to work with Subject Matter Experts in Fortescue and partner/clients to develop the required models and summary presentations. 

The Analyst will also work closely with the Decarb Green Energy, Green Equipment and Green Mining teams in Morocco, who are responsible for collectively building applications and green transition outcomes which leverage the Fortescue suite of Renewables and Green Energy transition offers, that are required for Decarbonisation of end users to reduce emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and increase productivity as they grow production volumes.

This position will be best suited to an individual who thrives when working collaboratively across multiple workstreams, and excels when working in a fast-paced, challenging environment and most importantly who demonstrates a high-level of resilience and flexibility. A willingness to deal with ambiguity while providing well-framed perspectives will be critical to succeeding in this position and progressing into more senior positions.

The role requires some technical system capabilities, a willingness to rapidly learn – including elements of advanced analytics/AI, and decarbonisation technology – and an ability to showcase innovative thinking and strong stakeholder engagement to drive project milestones, outcomes and solutions. The role primarily needs to be impact and delivery focused.

The analyst should also be a constructive and engaging team member – working in a ‘one team’ environment where also willing to take help or structured guidance where it is required, and to provide help to others where it is sought or value adding.
