What You Will Do

You will work in teams as a specialist practitioner to solve pressing and complex issues at clients through deploying analytical tools, as well as support the development of new proprietary tools, benchmarking databases and market perspectives. In this role, you will often work in teams of typically 3-5 consultants, playing an active role in client engagements. This includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses and developing communication and recommendations. You’ll also present results to client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members. You’ll also focus on building and scaling analytical solutions used for engagement across portfolio optimization, project development and value improvement, project execution, cost and schedule diagnostic. You will also prepare detailed cost estimates and budget forecasts for large-scale capital projects using advanced software tools and internal proprietary databases. You will contribute to McKinsey’s industry knowledge by staying up to date with the latest in the capital projects industry and you will contribute to proprietary models and analyses. This includes gathering the information necessary to develop these tools and synthesize your findings into McKinsey formatted products. These products may be in the form of complex models and summary reports which evolve into standalone presentations that outline key findings and recommendations to internal and external audiences. You will have the opportunity to gain new skills and build on the strengths you bring to the firm. You will receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues on your teams. You will have the opportunity to work in either the Madrid, Lisbon or Wroclaw office as part of our Capital Analytics Client Capabilities Network. This network is a component of our larger Capital Excellence Service Line. Capital Analytics provides distinctive analysis, insights, and support to major capital projects across sectors. We offer services including estimate and schedule validation, benchmarking, diligence, and readiness reviews.
