This is a high-impact, front-line origination role with full ownership of transactions, from first market entry through signing and closing across utility-scale PV, BESS, and wind projects, with future expansion into emerging technologies such as Data Centres and Power-to-X.
If you are commercially driven, thrive on deal-making, and want full accountability for MW-scale growth, this is a rare opportunity to shape a European portfolio at scale.

- Negotiating SPA, DSA, JV, and development partnership agreements
- Taking transactions from origination through signing and closing
- Ensuring seamless handover to development and asset management teams
What We’re Looking For
- 10+ years’ experience in renewable energy origination, acquisitions, or development within an IPP or leading platform
- Proven track record of successfully closed transactions (not just sourced) in PV, BESS, and/or wind
- Hands-on experience leading NBOs, due diligence, and contract negotiations
- Strong knowledge of European permitting regimes, grid connection processes, and development risk
- Direct market exposure across Central, Northern, and Eastern Europe
- Commercially sharp with strong negotiation capability
- Comfortable operating independently and managing multiple live deals
- Fluent English (additional European languages highly advantageous)
- Willingness to travel extensively
Why This Role?
