At Kalavasta we work on discovering and realising sustainable equilibria. We develop insights and models on complex issues which change the way people and organisations think and act. Our main focus is on the energy transition.

We are looking to expand our team with a junior consultant who will work on a variety of projects together with our team, external partners and clients, and on an even larger variety of topics.
