As Technical Transaction Advisor, you play a key role in ensuring that renewable energy investments are based on robust, transparent and well‑evaluated technical foundations. Acting as the internal technical lead, you bridge the gap between engineering, investment and external advisors, translating complex technical topics into clear decision-making input. This role offers you a high level of responsibility and visibility within transaction processes, enabling you to directly influence investment quality and long-term portfolio performance in a dynamic and growing renewable energy environment.

Your sunny outlook:

• Technical Lead in Transactions: You take full ownership of the technical workstream across PV and BESS acquisition projects, from early-stage assessment through to investment decision.
• Management of External Advisors: You steer and challenge external technical advisors, ensuring high-quality outputs, appropriate scope and decision-oriented deliverables.
• Technical Due Diligence Oversight: You review, analyse and critically assess technical due diligence reports, expert opinions and project documentation across construction and operational stages.
• Risk & Value Assessment: You identify technical risks, define mitigation strategies and uncover value levers, translating technical findings into investment-relevant conclusions.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: You work closely with internal stakeholders such as Investment, Legal, Engineering, Asset Management and local subsidiaries to ensure alignment across all transaction activities.
• Contract Assessment: You support the technical evaluation of key contracts such as EPC, O&M, grid connection agreements and major component supply contracts from an investor perspective.
• Decision Support & Reporting: You prepare and present technical decision papers, risk assessments and recommendations to investment committees and senior management.
• Standards & Methodologies: You contribute to the continuous development of Encavis’ technical due diligence standards, methodologies and templates.
