The PEP team works closely with the investment teams at Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners across the US, UK and Australian energy markets.

About the Role

We’re seeking a technically skilled renewable energy professional to support project development through site assessment, preliminary design, energy yield modelling, and technical- economic optimisation. The role involves cross-functional collaboration and support across project lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Site Evaluation and Feasibility
• Assess site viability using resource data (wind, solar) and site constraint data (GIS); provide preliminary energy yield forecasts.
• Preliminary Design
• Create and optimize conceptual layouts using tools like AutoCAD, PVsyst, PVcase, and Helioscope.
• Resource and Yield Assessment
• Process data from meteorological towers or remote sensors; conduct long-term resource modelling using software such as WindPro, Windographer, and PVsyst. Ensure uptime and accuracy of measurement equipment.
• Site Optimisation and Collaboration
• Work with engineering and environmental teams to refine layouts and address site constraints. Incorporate feedback and global best practices into designs.
• Technical Support
• Coordinate with third-party consultants to provide independent resource assessment and challenge results (where appropriate). Support the development, property and grid teams with technical insights during project delivery.
• Documentation and Reporting
• Prepare reports and maintain organized records of designs, calculations, and assumptions.

Qualifications:

• Science, Maths or Engineering degree
• 5+ years in renewable energy (solar, wind, BESS)
• Proficiency with design/resource tools (e.g., PVsyst, Helioscope, AutoCAD, WindFarmer)
• Experience with wind/solar measurement and remote sensing .
• Familiarity with UK grid and planning regulations a plus
• GIS experience (QGIS/ArcGIS), visualization tools (Revit), FEED and detailed design a plus

About the ideal candidate
