• Support environmental permit applications and the follow-up of their conditions, including integrated environmental authorisations and environmental impact assessments.
• Prepare environmental reports and documentation for authorities and for project decisions.
• Contribute to sustainability initiatives and best practices across our project portfolio.
• Work hand in hand with Permitting, Engineering and HSQE teams, and with external consultants and laboratories.

• Knowledge of ISO 14001 environmental management systems.
• GIS tools (ArcGIS, QGIS) or environmental monitoring software.

WHY JOIN US

• Play a direct role in shaping our pipeline of Spanish biomethane projects, from the first site visit to Ready-to-Build.
• Combine fieldwork and analysis in a fast-growing Project Development team.
• Be part of a company turning waste into renewable energy and leading Europe's energy transition.
