About the Role
You will manage the delivery of consultancy and technical advisory services for wind or PV projects for a wide range of international clients: banks, investors, developers, operators, etc. These missions mainly consist of identifying and quantifying technical, contractual, and financial risks of wind or PV projects before they are financed or sold/acquired, and suggesting some solutions to reduce/mitigate the associated risk level. This project manager role provides a 360° view over the challenges of designing, building, and operating wind or PV power plants. To do so, you will rely on a multidisciplinary and passionate internal team to identify and mitigate these risks. Depending on the company’s activity and your mindset, you may also participate in other projects (business development, technology watch, negotiation of construction contracts, site inspections, ESG policy, etc.).
