We view the interview process as a two-way exchange. It’s an opportunity for us to understand how you think, approach problems, and collaborate—and for you to learn more about our work, our people, and how we operate.
Structured processes + great conversations
We’re interested in understanding your experiences, your interests, and how you approach complex, real-world problems. As you prepare, it may be helpful to think about how you would:
Your experience is more than what’s on your resume. What has shaped your interests in energy, infrastructure, or investing? What decisions have influenced your path, and how has your approach to work evolved over time?
Be ready to discuss the details behind your work—projects, roles, or academic experiences. What challenges did you face? How did you approach them? How did you work with others, and what did you learn along the way?
Interviews are a two-way conversation. Take the opportunity to learn more about DESRI, the role, and the types of projects you’d be involved in. Thoughtful questions can help you evaluate fit and reflect your curiosity about the work we do.
