  • Maximizing portfolio value through operational excellence
  • Identifying optimization opportunities to enhance quality and reduce lifecycle costs

  • Contributing to asset purchase evaluations with technical due diligence and risk assessments
  • Leading relationships with outsource partners to manage performance and meet operational targets
  • Assisting the Investment team in identifying technical risks and opportunities


Requirements

  • 6 years’ experience in renewable energy/solar PV/battery/distributed energy asset management
  • Proven experience in developing an Asset Management function with a strategic, results-driven approach
  • Strong understanding of commercial contracts and risk management (e.g., EPC, O&M contracts)

  • Proven ability to build trusted relationships with partners for business expansion
  • Experience managing third parties and subcontractors
