Overview

Role: Senior Transport-Energy Modelling Expert - Climate Policy Focus

Location: Athens Greece - Hybrid

Role ID: 2025-2969

Our vision is to create a safe and sustainable world.

Ricardo plc is a global strategic environmental and engineering consulting company. With over 100 years of engineering excellence and employing close to 3000 employees in more than 20 countries we provide exceptional levels of expertise in delivering leading-edge and innovative cross-sector sustainable products and solutions. Every day we enable our customers to solve the most complex and dynamic challenges to help achieve a safe and sustainable world.

About Us

Our Digital Modelling Practice is a cornerstone of our Climate Energy & Environmental Services (CE&ES) division delivering complex quantitative modeling and impactful economic insights across Europe and the world. We are a team of world-class researchers and modellers dedicated to addressing the most pressing economic and environmental challenges of our time.Our contributions are featured in IPCC reports published in top-tier scientific journals and frequently peer-reviewed at the highest level. At the same time we provide high-end evidence-based support to national and international organizations.

The successful candidate will contribute to the advancement of quantitative transport modelling working directly with integrated energy-transport models such as PRIMES and PRIMES-TREMOVE. This role supports research and development activities focused on simulating transport demand analysing energy use in mobility systems and evaluating the impact of transport policies on decarbonisation pathways.

Key Responsibilities

  • Data Collection & Analysis: Source structure and maintain large-scale datasets from scientific technical and market domains related to transport activity vehicle technologies energy consumption emissions and socioeconomic indicators.
  • Demand Modelling: Apply and adapt transport demand modelling techniques within the PRIMES modelling suite focusing on vehicle stock evolution modal shifts and behavioural responses to policy interventions.
