What do we rely on at ENCAVIS? The sun. The wind. And on you.
Welcome to Encavis! Our world is all about the power of the sun, the wind and the more than 400 people across our group who are working together to shape the energy system of the future in order to ensure a sustainable energy supply for future generations.
ENCAVIS Management GmbH & Co. KG is the holding company of Elbe BidCo GmbH, one of Europe's leading electricity producers from renewable energies. We operate a broadly diversified portfolio of over 330 onshore wind farms, ground-mounted solar plants and battery storage facilities in 13 European countries with an installed capacity of more than 3.8 GW. And best of all, we are continuing to grow! Our subsidiaries, Stern Energy SpA, which operates throughout Europe as a specialist in technical services for photovoltaic systems, and Encavis Asset Management AG, which specialises in supporting institutional investors, complement our portfolio.
What does this mean for you? The opportunity to make a difference, to shape and change things. As part of a multinational team that enjoys helping to make the energy transition a success.
Join our Encavis team as a Project Origination Manager Spain and play an active role in shaping the energy transition as part of our Spanish development team. In this high‑impact role, you initiate, negotiate, and execute partnerships that unlock utility‑scale Wind, Solar PV and BESS opportunities for driving Encavis’ growth in Spain. You source late‑stage and ready‑to‑build projects through trusted partnerships and targeted acquisitions - directly fueling our hybrid‑first strategy. If you enjoy working in a dynamic and meaningful environment and thrive on shaping deals, building strong networks, and steering projects toward RTB without greenfield development, this is your chance to play a decisive role in shaping the renewable energy landscape in Spain.
Your sunny outlook:
- Strategic Partnerships Lifecycle: You lead the full lifecycle of partnership deals—from origination and negotiation to signing—to secure top‑quality Wind, PV, and BESS projects for Encavis.
- JV & Co‑Development Structuring: You structure joint ventures (JV) and co‑development agreements (CDA) that balance risk and maximize value creation for the company.
- Partner Network & Pipeline Access: You build and maintain a trusted partner network to access project pipelines, hybridization prospects, and repowering opportunities.
- Project Oversight to RTB: You oversee assigned and developed projects from origination through Ready‑to‑Build (RTB), ensuring every milestone follows the planned path.
- Origination & Market Intelligence: You source RTB or late‑stage Wind+PV+BESS assets and run market and grid analyses to pinpoint high‑value nodes, curtailment risks, storage opportunities, and follow up with Electrical Grid Operators.
- Hybrid Portfolio Transaction Support: You support transaction structuring for hybrid portfolios by leveraging Encavis’ financial resources and technical expertise.
- Stakeholder & Industry Engagement (Spain): You cultivate strong relationships with developers, grid operators, and associations and represent Encavis at renewable‑energy forums in Spain to position us as a preferred partner.
- Deal Accountability & ESG Compliance: You take end‑to‑end accountability for deals—including due diligence, negotiation, and execution of JV, CDA, and SPA documents—while ensuring each agreement meets Encavis’ strategic, financial, and ESG standards and that all origination documentation is properly classified and registered.
We'll get wind of that soon:
- Educational Background: You hold a degree in Engineering, Business, Economics or a related technical or commercial field.
- Professional Experience: You bring 5–8 years of experience in renewable energy business development, with a proven track record in Solar PV and BESS projects.
- Deal Structuring & Negotiation Expertise: You have strong commercial acumen that enables you to structure Joint Ventures and co‑development agreements effectively and negotiate partnership deals confidently.
- Regulatory & Market Knowledge (Spain): You are familiar with Spanish permitting processes, regulatory frameworks and grid‑connection requirements, allowing you to confidently navigate the RTB pathway.
- Technical & Market Understanding of Hybrid Projects: You possess solid technical and commercial understanding of Solar PV and BESS projects (Wind is a plus), enabling you to assess project value and risks across hybrid portfolios.
- Stakeholder Engagement & Industry Presence: You bring a strong network within the Spanish renewable energy sector and represent Encavis confidently at industry events, regulatory discussions and partner meetings.
- Language Skills: You are fluent in both Spanish and English and communicate clearly in international, cross‑functional settings.
- Mobility & Willingness to Travel: You are willing to travel within Spain (and occasionally internationally) to cultivate partnerships and advance project opportunities.
