About The Position

Cantor Fitzgerald’s Energy group in Houston advises clients across the upstream, midstream, downstream, and oilfield services sectors on mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, and strategic alternatives. The group is part of Cantor’s broader Power, Energy and Infrastructure franchise based in New York and London, providing exposure to a global client base. The Houston office is a lean, deal-focused team where Summer Analysts work directly with senior bankers from initial client conversations through transaction closing and take on meaningful responsibility early.

Assignments mirror the work of a first-year analyst, and each Summer Analyst is paired with a mentor and receives formal midpoint and end-of-program reviews. Summer Analysts who perform well may be considered for a full-time analyst offer. The role is based in Houston and requires working in-office for the full program.
