We are seeking an Analyst with a strong understanding of both the technical and policy aspects of energy-intensive industrial sectors, such as refining, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, steel, and cement, including MSMEs/SMEs. The candidate should have solid functional knowledge of low-carbon technologies, energy efficiency, and their applications. They will be responsible for supporting project proposals, managing deliverables and timelines, and coordinating effectively with internal and external stakeholders to achieve project objectives.

Responsibilities

• Track and analyse developments in industrial decarbonisation (IDC) across state, national, and global contexts.
• Work at the intersection of clean technologies and implementation strategies, identifying ways to improve decision-making and policy in industrial sectors.
• Conduct research on IDC-related policies and regulations to generate actionable insights.
• Develop concept notes, project ideas, and proposals aligned with sector priorities and economic impact.
• Undertake research, modelling, and analysis to build a strong knowledge base on IDC trends, technologies, and business models.
• Apply knowledge of low-carbon and net-zero pathways for industry, including policy frameworks, financial modelling, market assessment, energy auditing, and GHG accounting protocols.
• Engage and coordinate with stakeholders, including industry, associations, government bodies, funding agencies, and research institutions.
• Document and disseminate findings through reports, journal publications, conferences, op-eds, and newsletters.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in chemical/petrochemical/biochemical/industrial chemistry/materials science & metallurgical engineering, business, or a related field.
• 0–2 years relevant professional/project/academic experience in industrial process engineering, economic analysis, and low-carbon applications related to industrial sectors.

Skill Set

• Hands-on experience in data collection, analysis, and reporting for industrial processes.
• Familiarity with environmental compliance, sustainability practices, and energy efficiency initiatives.
• Basic understanding of life cycle assessment, energy audits, and environmental impact assessments.
• Strong fundamentals in mass transfer, heat transfer, reaction engineering, and process design.
• Exposure to chemical process applications through academic projects, internships, or industry training.
• Willingness to undertake technical and policy research in energy-intensive industrial sectors.
• Proficiency in analytical tools such as MS Excel and Tableau; working knowledge of Python, R, or SAS is an advantage.
• Ability to assess industrial operations and develop innovative, practical solutions.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to present ideas clearly and build stakeholder buy-in.
• Willingness to travel for data collection and stakeholder engagement.
• Ability to make timely and effective decisions.

We are seeking a Senior Associate with expertise in technical, analytical, and project implementation aspects of hard-to-abate industrial sectors and/or MSMEs, with a focus on reducing GHG and energy intensity. The role includes advancing circular economy solutions, clean fuel adoption, and the transition to renewable or electric-based thermal systems, along with performance analysis and techno-economic assessment of low-carbon pathways. The ideal candidate will have experience in modelling, research, and project execution, and will contribute to research, policy inputs, and stakeholder engagement while independently managing assignments, mentoring junior team members, and delivering high-quality outputs aligned with organisational goals.

Responsibilities

• Lead and contribute to research on low-carbon and clean technology pathways for decarbonising energy-intensive and MSME-based industries in India.
• Conduct techno-economic and performance assessments of clean technology solutions for industrial processes in hard-to-abate sectors, including those under the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS).
• Develop concept notes and methodologies for offset mechanisms within the Indian and global carbon markets, including innovative ideas under IDC.   
• Conduct detailed IN&OUT mapping of Industrial sectors (prepare the profile for product-mix, energy & emission, fuel mix, technology, stakeholders, contribution to country’s economy, including the country’s NDC commitment if any, Decarbonisation roadmap, etc.) for ODA¹ countries in Asia and Africa continents, through source-driven desk-based research.
• Lead and contribute to advanced research on near-, mid-, and long-term decarbonisation measures, such as CCUS/CCS, hydrogen, electrification, circular economy and recycling, and alternative fuels and feedstocks, across industrial sectors, including innovative financial models.
• Develop research reports, policy briefs, journal papers, and technical publications for reputed national and international platforms.
• Contribute to proposals, concept notes, and new project ideas aligned with emerging decarbonisation trends and national priorities.
• Engage with government agencies, industrial associations, research institutions, and industry stakeholders for data collection, validation, and dissemination of findings.
• Support capacity-building initiatives, training programmes, and technical workshops for sector stakeholders.
• Mentor team members in research methodologies, modelling approaches, and technical writing.
• Stay updated on global advancements in industrial process technologies and utilities, with a focus on green initiatives in hard-to-abate sectors and emerging applications.
