Corporate Tax, Senior Manager

Tax

We help our clients stay ahead of changes that impact their businesses, navigating complexity and risk. We deliver deep tax technical, people and legal expertise, while providing the critical context to make informed and compliant decisions. With clients ranging from multinational organisations and public sector bodies to entrepreneurs and family businesses, the work we do is diverse.

The PwC Energy, Utilities and Resources tax team is recruiting. We are looking for market facing people at all levels with experience in corporate tax to join us. We work with clients across the whole of the energy sector. Fancy supporting the acquisition of an offshore windfarm? Curious about Hydrogen production? Want to play your part in energy transition? Then we’re interested in hearing from you. Due to the energy transition and the race to net zero, the energy sector is a fast growing and exciting sector and one in which PwC is a leading tax advisor. This presents a great opportunity for our business, and significant development opportunities for our team. We’d like you to join us. You will work closely with our market leading clients working on their oil and gas, mining, commodity trading, onshore, offshore and floating wind, solar, bioenergy, electric vehicle and energy storage projects and help our clients meet their energy transition ambitions.
