NewGen is a dynamic, growing consulting firm that helps utilities deliver vital services such as water, energy, and waste management. We seek a detail-oriented analyst who loves working with data, thrives on problem solving, and is eager to make a difference.

The successful candidate will work directly with senior colleagues and clients to estimate the costs of operating utilities, financing vital investments in infrastructure, and ultimately determining utility rates charged to residents and businesses. Our work is meaningful, challenging, and exciting. Our company is focused on growth, innovation, and teamwork, and in this role, you will have an impact on not only your fellow coworkers and the company, but on utilities and communities across the country.

Key Roles

  • Develop financial models in Microsoft Excel to help utilities forecast their costs, revenues, and performance indicators
  • Analyze large data sets (including financial, demographic, and billing/consumption data) to inform the development of financial models
  • Create understandable data visualizations using charts and user-friendly dashboards
  • Clearly communicate results to clients in written reports and PowerPoint presentations
  • Carry out quantitative and qualitative research (e.g., benchmarking utility bills) to inform decision making
  • Develop subject matter expertise in water infrastructure while also providing analytical support to colleagues in our energy and solid waste practices

Required Qualifications

  • Undergraduate degree or higher in Finance, Economics, Accounting, Business Administration, Data Analytics, or another quantitative field
  • 1 to 3 years of experience in a finance or data related role
  • Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel
  • Familiarity with fundamental financial concepts (such as inflation, depreciation, discount rates, operating costs, capital planning, debt service coverage, etc.)
  • Basic knowledge of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with advanced Excel features such as VBA, Power Query, Power Pivot, and Power BI
  • Experience in the utilities industry
  • Knowledge of programming languages for data analysis, such as Python, R, or SQL
  • Experience with spatial analysis, e.g., using ArcGIS or QGIS

Qualities

  • Passion for and proficiency in Microsoft Excel (you will spend most of your day in spreadsheets!)
  • Exceptional attention to detail
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Highly organized, with the ability to self-manage multiple priorities and deadlines
  • Ability to transform, combine, analyze, and summarize large (and often messy) data sets
  • Ability to think critically and solve problems
  • A collaborative team player

What We Offer

Join our team of experts dedicated to making a positive impact on our clients' water consumption and costs. We offer a competitive compensation package, benefits, and opportunities for professional growth in a supportive and collaborative work environment.

  • Base compensation of $65,000 - $75,000. The range provided is NewGen's reasonable estimate of the base compensation for these roles. The actual amount may be higher or lower, based on non-discriminatory factors such as location, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities.
  • Annual bonuses of 8%, contingent on personal and company performance
  • 401K plan with matching contributions
  • Medical and dental insurance
  • Paid vacations and holidays
  • Paid maternity and paternity leave
  • Meaningful opportunity for career progression within the organization
