Boralex has been providing renewable and affordable energy for over 30 years. The Group, composed of more than 800 employees, operates renewable assets with an installed capacity of over 3 GW and is developing a project portfolio of 6.8 GW in wind, solar, and energy storage.

You have strong attention to detail, you are collaborative, and you have the ability to prioritise effectively. Moreover you would thrive working on complicated renewable energy projects, as well as working for a company with strong human values in the renewable energy field.

In this role you will primarily take a supporting position in managing the deployment phase of a complex onshore wind project.

• Working independently on multiple complex renewable energy projects; and
• Supporting the development of opportunities, which entails:
• Initial analysis and due diligence of identified opportunities;
• Preparing and managing project budgets, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within financial constraints;
• Managing and communicating project progress towards task deadlines and identifying critical path challenges;
• Overseeing consenting processes, environmental assessments, and other regulatory requirements, ensuring timely approvals;
• Developing and maintaining relationships with landowners and other stakeholders;
• Developing and providing project status updates to relevant internal and external stakeholders;
• Analysing tenders, participating in and coordinating the preparation of bids; and
• Representing the company and projects at public information meetings.
  

To Succeed In This Position, You Need

• Bachelor's degree or Masters in engineering, environmental science, business, or any other related field; and
• Minimum 2 years of experience in the renewable energy industry or other development industry.
• Good interpersonal, communication and collaboration skills.

• Strong problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
• You should be passionate about renewable energy and environmental sustainability.
• Good communicator, both written and verbal, with the ability to engage with a variety of stakeholders.
