How to Apply for Energy Analyst

at Trio

🏢 About Trio

Trio is a mission-driven consultancy dedicated to guiding large organizations through global clean energy transitions. As a remote-first company, they offer flexibility while allowing you to work on impactful projects that directly contribute to sustainability goals.

About This Role

This Energy Analyst role involves critical analytical support for natural gas and electricity managers, including data management, invoice audits, and rate modeling. Your work will directly inform strategic decisions on cost, consumption, and budgets for major clients.

💡 A Day in the Life

Start your day by checking natural gas nominations and confirming pipeline schedules. Mid-morning, you’ll audit invoices from utilities, validate data in Excel, and prepare a report on cost trends for the energy manager. After lunch, you might analyze tariff changes and update a PowerBI dashboard showing client consumption metrics.

🎯 Who Trio Is Looking For

  • Has 3+ years of hands-on experience in North American energy markets, preferably at an end-user, utility, supplier, or consulting firm.
  • Excels in Excel data analysis (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, modeling) and can validate large datasets across multiple systems.
  • Understands natural gas operations (nominations, confirmations, imbalances) and can communicate effectively with pipeline reps.
  • Possesses a Bachelor’s in Business, Finance, Accounting, Sustainability, or Engineering, with strong attention to detail.

📝 Tips for Applying to Trio

1

Tailor your resume to highlight specific experience with natural gas operations and invoice audits, not just general energy analysis.

2

Quantify your impact in previous roles (e.g., 'Reduced invoice discrepancies by 20% through audit process improvements').

3

Mention proficiency with PowerBI or similar visualization tools, as the job requires reporting on cost and consumption.

4

In your cover letter, reference Trio’s mission of guiding clean energy transitions and connect it to your own career goals.

5

Proofread for any errors—attention to detail is explicitly required and a common dealbreaker.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Emphasize your experience with North American energy markets and natural gas operations, providing specific examples.', 'Highlight your analytical skills with data validation and reporting, especially using Excel and PowerBI.', 'Show enthusiasm for sustainability and how your work can contribute to Trio’s mission of clean energy transitions.', 'Demonstrate your ability to manage multiple data systems and communicate insights to stakeholders.']
