Development Associate

I’m working with a growing renewable energy business that is looking to hire a Development Associate into its development team.

In order to make an application, simply read through the following job description and make sure to attach relevant documents.

This would suit someone with 1-3 years’ experience in the energy or renewable energy sector who wants to broaden their experience across the full development lifecycle.

The role will provide exposure to a range of renewable energy projects across the UK and Europe, supporting activities across land, grid and planning.

A particularly important part of the role will be grid coordination – working directly with DNOs, following up on actions, chasing responses and making sure projects continue to move forward.

You’ll be involved in:

• Supporting renewable energy projects through the development lifecycle
• Land, grid and planning activities
• Coordinating with DNOs and other external stakeholders
• Following up on grid applications, queries and actions
• Keeping projects and stakeholders organised and moving forward
• Supporting senior members of the development team across a range of projects
• Helping identify and resolve development issues as they arise

What they’re looking for:

• 1-3 years’ experience within energy, renewables or a related infrastructure environment
• Exposure to project development is highly desirable
• An understanding of land, grid and/or planning processes
• Strong communication and coordination skills
• Someone comfortable picking up the phone and speaking xwzovoh to/chasing DNOs rather than waiting for things to happen
• Organised, proactive and commercially minded
• Someone who enjoys working across multiple projects and getting stuck into whatever needs doing

London – 3-4 days per week in the office

This is a great opportunity for someone relatively early in their renewables career to gain broad development experience across multiple areas of project development, rather than becoming siloed into one particular discipline.
