2025/26 Australia Summer Undergraduate Internship - Sydney

About Baringa: We set out to build the world’s most trusted consulting firm – creating lasting impact for clients and pioneering a positive, people-first way of working. We work with everyone from FTSE 100 names to bright new start-ups, in every sector.

You’ll find us collaborating shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients, from the big picture right down to the detail: helping them define their strategy, deliver complex change, spot the right commercial opportunities, manage risk, or bring their purpose and sustainability goals to life. Our clients love how we get to know what makes their organisations tick – slotting seamlessly into their teams and being proudly geeky about solving their challenges.

We have hubs in Europe, the US, Asia and Australia, and we work all around the world - from a wind farm in Wyoming to a boardroom in Berlin. Find us wherever there's a challenge to be tackled and an impact to be made.

Our leading Australian consulting practice has some exciting Internship opportunities in Sydney for students passionate about working on the forefront of the energy transition.

What will you be doing?

Specific roles will vary and typically could include elements of research, business or market analysis, operating model innovation, process design and systems delivery. You will typically be working in collaboration with client and/or Baringa team members and will be required to be able to plan and execute your own work with supervision. As an Intern, your role will require you to be honest, flexible, adaptable, and passionate about clients’ businesses.

We have open positions across four of our teams in Energy and Financial Services:

• Power Market Fundamentals & Transactions
• Energy Strategy & Commercial Advisory
• Energy Policy & Regulatory Advisory
• Financial Services – Climate and Sustainability Advisory

In the energy sector, we offer clients a unique blend of deep energy market expertise and commercial insight. We work with organisations at the forefront of the energy sector’s decarbonisation and transition, providing strategic, economic, and commercial consulting to energy companies, financial institutions, governments, and regulators.

In the financial services sector, we primarily support Australia’s largest banks, superannuation funds, asset managers, and insurers. Our work also extends beyond financial institutions, helping clients build robust internal climate and sustainability functions. This enables them to navigate and meet evolving requirements for climate and sustainability disclosures, positioning them to lead in a low-carbon economy.
