How to Apply for Graduate Consultant, Climate Risk and Strategy
at Ramboll Management Consulting
🏢 About Ramboll Management Consulting
Ramboll Management Consulting stands out as a global leader driving decarbonization and sustainable business models, with a strong focus on translating climate science into actionable business strategies. Their unique position at the intersection of technical expertise and commercial consulting allows them to deliver practical solutions for climate risk and strategy. Working here offers the opportunity to influence major corporations and financial institutions on their climate transition journeys.
About This Role
As a Graduate Consultant in Climate Risk and Strategy, you'll support clients in identifying both physical and transition climate risks while uncovering strategic opportunities, requiring you to bridge climate science with business strategy. You'll manage consulting projects end-to-end while helping develop Ramboll's climate services offerings, making this role impactful by directly shaping how organizations respond to climate challenges. This position serves as a critical entry point into climate risk consulting at a firm that works with leading global organizations.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve analyzing climate data sets to assess physical risks for a client's supply chain, then participating in a client workshop to discuss transition risk exposure and strategy options. You could be drafting sections of a climate disclosure report aligned with TCFD requirements while also contributing to business development materials for Ramboll's climate services. The role balances technical analysis with client-facing consulting activities and internal knowledge development.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Ramboll Management Consulting Is Looking For
- Has practical experience applying climate scenarios and physical hazard data to assess business impacts, not just theoretical knowledge of climate science
- Demonstrates familiarity with major climate disclosure frameworks like TCFD, ISSB, and EU Taxonomy requirements through coursework, projects, or previous experience
- Can articulate how climate transition indicators translate to financial and operational risks for different sectors
- Shows evidence of project management skills or the ability to handle multiple workstreams simultaneously
📝 Tips for Applying to Ramboll Management Consulting
Highlight specific experience with climate data tools or platforms (like climate scenario models, GIS tools for physical risk, or transition risk databases) in your resume
Reference Ramboll's recent climate-related projects or thought leadership in your cover letter to show you've researched their specific work
Quantify any previous experience with climate risk assessment - mention specific metrics, frameworks, or methodologies you've used
Demonstrate understanding of both the technical climate science AND the business strategy aspects of the role - avoid focusing exclusively on one
If you have sector-specific climate risk experience (financial services, energy, manufacturing, etc.), emphasize how that applies to Ramboll's client base
✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
["Your specific experience with climate risk frameworks (TCFD, ISSB, EU Taxonomy) and how you've applied them in academic or professional settings", 'Examples of translating climate data into business insights or recommendations, showing you understand the commercial implications', 'Why Ramboll specifically appeals to you - reference their projects, clients, or approach to climate consulting that aligns with your interests', 'How your background bridges climate science and business strategy, addressing both the technical and consulting aspects of the role']
Generate Cover Letter →🔍 Research Before Applying
To stand out, make sure you've researched:
- → Ramboll's recent climate risk projects and client case studies (available on their website and in industry publications)
- → Their thought leadership on climate topics - particularly reports or articles related to TCFD, transition planning, or physical risk assessment
- → The specific sectors Ramboll serves in climate consulting and their approach to different industries
- → How Ramboll's engineering heritage influences their climate risk methodology compared to pure strategy consultancies
💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics
Based on this role, you may be asked about:
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Focusing only on climate science without demonstrating understanding of business applications and commercial implications
- Using generic sustainability language without specific references to climate risk frameworks, scenarios, or data methodologies
- Failing to show how your experience translates to consulting - Ramboll needs candidates who can advise clients, not just analyze data
