About Charles River Associates
For over 50 years, Charles River Associates has been a premier consulting firm that offers employees a place to learn from a diverse group of consultants, industry experts, and academics. At CRA you will be exposed to leading minds who use economic, financial, and business analysis to solve complex world problems for an impressive roster of clients, including major law firms, Fortune 100 companies, and government agencies. Through a collegial environment, formal and informal training opportunities, and a broad array of professional development resources, your experience at CRA will open doors for you as you launch your career.
Position Overview
Consultants in CRA’s Energy practice have researched, published, taught, and consulted on energy matters for a wide range of clients, including electric and gas utilities, investors, power asset owners and developers, power agencies, large industrial firms, and clean energy technology leaders. Our work in the energy industry has guided the energy transitions of major firms, established legal precedents in economics, and set new standards in market design and oversight. We have advised on developing the structure of national and regional competitive markets, reorganized multi-billion-dollar companies, testified in hundred-million-dollar damages litigation, and played a key role in most North American utility mergers and acquisitions that have taken place over the last decade.
As a Principal, you will conduct research and use software to organize, analyze, and deliver data-driven insights, and you will always have your project team as a resource. Your responsibilities may include (but are not limited to):
- Electricity, oil, and gas market analysis;
- Economic assessments of policies and regulations impacting decisions at the plant, regional, and national levels;
- Support corporate and asset management clients in making and executing significant strategic and operational decisions across organizations in response to ESG concerns;
- Expert reports and testimony for energy-based litigation;
- Commercial strategy development and execution;
- Merger, acquisition, and divestment planning;
- Market potential assessments for renewable and unconventional energy technologies.
Desired Qualifications
We’re looking for energetic, highly-motivated candidates with a strong interest in the energy industry who have majored in a quantitative discipline such as Economics, Physics, Engineering, or Mathematics. We place high value on research experience, computer and programming skills, presentation and communication skills, and strong writing ability. A successful applicant will be able to work collaboratively in a team environment and effectively communicate complex ideas to all levels of the client organization.
Applicants with skills in both energy and economics/finance, and those with 7-10+ years of relevant work experience, will be viewed most favorably. Experience with MS Excel, programming languages, or other data analytics tools are a plus.

Additional leadership and collaboration opportunities exist through internal firm development activities.
- We offer a comprehensive total rewards program including a superior benefits package, wellness programming to support physical, mental, emotional and financial well-being, and in-house immigration support for foreign nationals and international business travelers.
