Consultor energias renovables / Technical Due Diligence y estudios de producción energética para proyectos eólicos onshore

Everoze is different, we are employee owned. We’re more than just a technical and commercial consultancy, specialising in renewables, storage, green hydrogen and wider energy flexibility. We live our values. We’re passionate about accelerating the transition to a decarbonised energy system. We have no bosses or formal hierarchy. We are free to pursue opportunities that deliver our strategy. We take ownership of our own development and support one another along the way. Our pay is transparent and set by our peers. We, the employees, own the company and we share profits equally.

We’re OK with being different. Everoze isn’t for everyone. But it might just be for you…

We’re excited to be hiring an experienced technical due diligence consultant with a focus on the Iberia onshore wind sector. The position is based in our Madrid office in Spain where you will be joining a growing and dynamic international team which is already well established in solar but that has ambition to grow and expand in the wind sector in Iberia. You will be supported by the wider international team in Everoze which has already established wind experience in Europe and that has been supporting local team in wind projects.

• Salary: A competitive basic salary related to your experience, plus pension scheme, annual profit share and route into company ownership

• Deadline for applications: 23rd April 2023

• Location: Madrid office with some remote working

• Hours: Normal office hours with a healthy level of flexibility. Preference for 5 days per week but will consider candidates who would prefer part-time with a minimum of 3 days per week.

What We offer:

• We are owned by the employees and offer a route into ownership for all new staff;

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

• Exposure: We work with clients ranging from multinational banks to international investors to community energy groups. You will be exposed to the wide range of projects financed and developed by these clients and you’ll work closely with them to address new challenges and opportunities at each turn;

• A fast-growth environment: We set up shop with 6 partners in September 2015. Now we’re 80 strong and counting, based across the UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy 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 to assess team or individual performance. We operate 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;

• Fostering entrepreneurship: If you have a good idea for a new business area, we empower you to follow it. OK, lots of companies say that, right? Well, many of our staff are actively involved in new ventures which have led to creating new companies or lines of work. We’re serious about this and we have systems for selecting new opportunities and a budget for investing in them.

What you will be doing:

Your work will be mainly technical and commercial consultancy services to onshore wind projects and to a less extent in PV and hybrid projects. You will be advising developers, operators, lenders  and  investors in the Spanish & Portuguese markets as well as supporting other geographies like France and the UK. Specific activities will include:

• Leading technical and commercial due diligence for onshore wind and hybrid projects/ portfolios – both as a project manager and in supporting roles. Specifically;

  • Assessment of risks which could result in a deviation from the project or portfolio financial model, particularly lower energy yield, delays to the project timeline, higher Capex and Opex, and then to propose relevant mitigation measures;

  • Assessed areas would typically cover: land securement, administrative authorisations, environmental constraints, project design, tariff scheme, grid connection, construction and operation contracts, project timeline;

  • Conducting wind resource and energy production assessments using state-of-the-art simulation software. This will include wind data checking and processing, statistical and long-term analysis, wind flow modelling, wake modelling, assessment of energy losses, and uncertainty analysis;

• Construction and operational monitoring

• Bespoke owner’s engineer services

• Strategic work

• Business development to build client relationships and win work

• Managing multiple projects with internal and external resources

• Ownership of budget and profitability of projects.
