Senior Associate / Research Technologist - Power, Utilities, & Clean Energy at Jefferies in Houston, TX

Job description

Jefferies is seeking a talented individual to help build the next generation of Power & Utilities equity research. The role sits at the intersection of energy analytics, data science, AI, and fundamental investing . The core objective is simple: use data and technology to rapidly distill complex information into differentiated investment insights and concise, actionable research. The successful candidate will work with large and often fragmented datasets across power markets, utilities, clean energy, industrial supply chains, electrification, and energy infrastructure , building tools and analytical processes that allow our team to identify important developments faster and communicate what matters to investors. We are looking for someone who combines technical horsepower with commercial judgment . The ideal candidate enjoys building tools, analyzing complex datasets, identifying patterns and inflection points, and ultimately answering the question: What matters, why does it matter, and what does it mean for companies and investors? What You'll Do Build Data & AI-Enabled Research Tools Build proprietary datasets, analytics, dashboards, AI workflows, and automation tools. Combine structured and unstructured information from market, regulatory, operational, industrial, geospatial, and alternative-data sources. Apply data science, machine learning, and AI to accelerate research and identify insights that are difficult to capture through traditional analysis. Automate the collection, organization, analysis, and synthesis of large volumes of information. Create tools that allow the team to move rapidly from raw information to concise conclusions and publishable research . Develop Differentiated Energy Analytics Analyze trends across the broader energy ecosystem, including: Power & Utilities: load growth, power prices, generation, capacity, transmission, rate-base investment and regulation. Data Centers & Electrification: AI-related power demand, large-load growth and the resulting generation and infrastructure requirements. Clean Energy & Technology: adoption, deployment, economics and supply chains across renewables, storage, nuclear, distributed generation and emerging energy technologies. Industrial Supply Chains: turbines, transformers, electrical equipment, generation equipment and other infrastructure needed to support power and electrification investment. Energy Infrastructure: natural gas and oil pipelines, storage, processing and other existing infrastructure, including utilization, flows, constraints and expansion requirements. A major focus will be connecting these datasets. For example: How does electricity-demand growth translate into generation requirements, fuel demand, pipeline utilization, equipment orders, infrastructure investment and ultimately corporate earnings? Turn Data Into Investment Conclusions This is not a pure data-science role. The objective is to turn analytics into investment research . Rapidly analyze large datasets and identify the handful of conclusions that matter. Translate technical, regulatory, industrial and market information into clear investment implications . Build analytical frameworks that identify changes and inflection points before they become consensus. Develop concise reports, charts and dashboards that communicate complex conclusions simply.
