This is a full-time remote role working on ground-breaking solar PV, wind and battery energy storage (BESS) projects from early development through to financial close.

You'll be working on originating and developing renewable energy projects from land identification through to financial close. That includes everything from securing land, grid connection rights and permits to managing stakeholder engagement, regulatory approvals, and commercial negotiations. You'll work closely with internal teams and external consultants to de-risk projects and ensure they're viable, financeable, and aligned with international standards. As a team member, you'll also mentor (and be mentored by) other developers, manage project portfolios, and contribute to bid submissions for both public and private off-takers.
