Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom Climate17 Full time

Join our mission to create a sustainable future by driving decarbonization initiatives in the energy sector. As a Renewable Energy Business Developer at Climate17, you will play a crucial role in building partnerships with municipal utilities and securing land for clean energy projects.

About the Role

We are seeking a driven and entrepreneurial individual to lead initiatives in two core areas:

  1. Building Partnerships with Municipal Utilities: You will seek out and establish partnerships with municipal utilities (Stadtwerke) and district heating network operators to help electrify their heating systems. This involves identifying ways in which our company can support them by developing, constructing, and/or financing projects that involve technologies such as electrical boilers, heat pumps, and heat storage.
  2. Securing Land for Clean Energy Projects: You will be responsible for identifying and negotiating with large landowners to secure sites for clean heat assets and battery storage projects, contributing to the growth of our development portfolio.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Leverage your market knowledge and collaborate with the team to shape our company's new strategy for decarbonizing district heating networks and offering multi-technology solutions.
  • Use data analysis and networking abilities to identify and approach suitable municipal utilities for partnership opportunities.
  • Identify and propose land acquisition opportunities, negotiating terms with landowners to secure key sites for our projects.
  • Technical and Economic Acumen: A solid grasp of the technical and financial aspects of the energy sector is essential.
  • District Heating Experience: Experience with district heating networks, either within municipal utilities or as a consultant/service provider, is highly desirable.
  • Willingness to Travel: Flexibility to travel as needed to build relationships and develop projects across regions.
  • Language Skills: Fluency in both German and English is essential.
