ЭNCAVIS Management GmbH & Co. KG is the holding company of Elbe BidCo GmbH, one of Europe’s leading renewable‑energy electricity producers. We operate a 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.

What does this mean for you? The opportunity to make a difference, shape and change things as part of a multinational team that enjoys helping make the energy transition a success.
Join our Encavis team as a Project Origination Manager in 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 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.

- 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 duecomma, negotiationEither and execution of JV, CDA, and SPA documents – while ensuring each agreement meets Encavis’ strategic, financing and ESG standards and that all origination documentation is properly classified and registered.

- Regulatory & Market Knowledge (Spain): You are familiar with Spanish permitting processes, regulatory frameworks and grid‑connection requirements, allowing you to 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.
