Job Description

Everoze is an employee-owned technical and commercial consultancy, specialising in renewables, storage, green hydrogen and wider energy flexibility. We exist to help our clients accelerate the transition to a decarbonised energy system.

We’re excited to be hiring a solar/storage consultant in Iberia. The position is based in our Madrid office with some remote working possible if required.

  • Package: A competitive salary plus pension scheme, annual profit share and route into company ownership.

  • Deadline for applications: 10 May 2022

  • Location: Madrid with some remote working if required

  • Hours: Full time, standard office hours

  • Interviews: June 2022

  • Start date: Flexible

We offer

  • Real impact at the cutting edge of energy: We work with some of the biggest brands in the sector and we’re regularly asked to share our thought leadership at the sector’s top conferences. You’ll be at the heart of this: conducting the analysis which informs our clients’ major investment and policy decisions;

  • Exposure to a wide range of projects and clients: As a thriving consultancy business Everoze works for clients ranging from multinational banks to community energy groups. You will be exposed to the wide range of projects financed and developed by these clients, taking in different approaches to challenges, risks, and solutions at each turn.

  • A fast-growth environment: We set up shop with 6 partners in September 2015. Now we’re 75 strong and counting, based across the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Germany;

  • The flattest of flat organisations: Let’s be upfront: if you thrive on hierarchy and structure, Everoze isn’t the company for you. But if you are looking for a work environment where the strength of your ideas are valued as much as your years of experience, then welcome home. You’ll be given the freedom and autonomy to shape your own career; it’s not for everyone, and with freedom comes responsibility – but we sure enjoy the buzz of owning our own careers;

  • The team works: Goodbye departmental silos! We get our offshore wind experts working on energy storage, our UK team working on French projects, our onshore wind specialists branching into solar. It keeps things fresh for us and more importantly, spurs the creative cross-fertilisation of ideas which helps us deliver unique insights and value to our clients;

  • Top-notch mentorship: Most of us at Everoze have been in the renewables and energy business for well over a decade, and some of us have previously led large teams and business units. We’d love to share some of this experience, through assigning you an internal mentor to help guide your professional development. And we hope that you can return the favour by offering feedback for us too, because whether you’ve got 3 months experience, or 30 years, we’ve all got more to learn.

  • No utilisation targets: yes that’s right! we don’t report on, or check staff utilisation in terms of assessing team or individual performance and work on trust within the team.  We find that happy and motivated staff are able to find the right balance between commercial work, business development and administration.

  • Flexibility: we offer flexible work hours, part-time and remote working for those who want it.

  • We embrace diversity and equal opportunities. At Everoze we want you to bring your ‘whole-self’ to work.
