Job description

We are seeking an experienced owner-side technical due diligence professional to lead technical assessments across conventional power generation and renewable energy investments, while establishing and developing our internal technical due diligence capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

Lead technical due diligence across solar PV, wind, BESS, gas-to-power, and other power infrastructure assets, including site inspections, VDR reviews, and technical condition and performance assessments.

Act as the internal Lender’s Technical Advisor: assess asset bankability, review energy yield assessments (P50/P90), availability and degradation assumptions, and support lender/DFI technical due diligence.

Own technical inputs to valuation and financial models, including CAPEX/OPEX benchmarks, energy yield, and replacement/repowering costs; rebuild and challenge sell-side technical models.

Support origination and development, including site screening, technology selection, EPC/O&M reviews, and grid connection technical workstreams.

Build NOVVA’s technical underwriting toolkit from 0 to 1, including DD checklists, site inspection templates, energy yield review frameworks, and red-flag libraries.

Requirements

6+ years of experience in renewable energy or power infrastructure technical roles, covering solar, wind, hydro, BESS, energy storage, or related technologies.

Hands-on engineering or technical development background in areas such as design, modelling (including CFD or energy yield modelling), or technical development work; candidates with purely review-based or managerial experience are not the target profile.

Proven experience in technical due diligence and/or as a Lender’s Technical Advisor for M&A transactions or project financing.

Strong command of energy yield assessment, technical CAPEX/OPEX benchmarking, and technical model assumptions.

Fluent, professional-level English; Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese) is a strong plus. Willingness and ability to travel frequently.

Strongly preferred:

CEng or IMechE/Energy Institute membership; a Master’s degree in engineering; APAC and LatAm deal experience; BESS/hydrogen exposure; and experience managing technical teams.
