The dual challenge of supplying energy to a growing population, while addressing the risks of climate change, is one
of the greatest challenges the world is facing today. The energy transition isn't just about alternative fuels, power
generation, or use, or storage. It's all the elements that contribute to the energy ecosystem. We view these challenges
as opportunities to deliver a more sustainable world.


We're developing strategies and business cases for emissions intensive clients to move to low carbon energy options,
as efficiently and safely as possible. Our consultants are advising customers on circular and hydrogen economies, water
stewardship, electrification, and climate change risk and adaptation. We work on projects around the globe. The problems
are global and so are we.


Who we are:
- Advanced Analysis
- Asset Advisory
- Decommissioning and Restoration
- Energy Transition and Sustainability
- Environment and Society
- Geosciences

Challenging complexity. Shaping a sustainable future.
Economic viability. Resource availability. Digital reliability. Carbon neutrality. These are the components of the world's
pressing energy and resource problems. Sound complicated and tough to balance? It is.


Luckily we thrive in complex environments

By seeing things from a different perspective, we enhance the Worley Group's ability to serve our clients. We are together delivering a more sustainable world.
We put sustainability at the heart of everything we do
We work with business to develop the right strategy, log in to a digital future, secure and safeguard social license, enhance local communities, and power the energy transition.


We know we won't solve today's problems by using the same thinking that created them. So, from start to finish, we challenge ourselves to find the best way forward. We question every decision, assumption, and way of working to make sure we get it right. The first time.

We are thousands of consultants across the globe. Be part of the future - welcome to our growing team!
