About us

We are a clean energy company that develops, builds, owns and operates renewable projects across the island of Ireland, with a portfolio spanning onshore wind, solar and battery energy storage (BESS). From our Cork office, our team supports projects across Munster and the wider island, in one of Europe's most exciting renewable energy markets. We are looking for a graduate analyst to help power that growth.

• Building and maintaining models for project economics, energy production and market analysis
• Conducting research on markets, policy, technologies and competitors to support strategic decisions
• Supporting due diligence on new projects and acquisitions, working with data from every corner of the business
• Analysing performance data from our operating fleet and reporting on trends and improvements
• Preparing clear reports, dashboards and presentations for project teams and senior leadership
• Supporting the development team with data for grid applications, planning and site selection
• Improving the spreadsheets, tools and datasets the whole company relies on

What we are looking for

• A degree (2.1 or above) in finance, economics, engineering, environmental science, data analytics or a related field

• Strong analytical skills and real comfort in Excel; experience with Python, SQL or data visualisation tools is an advantage
• Attention to detail and the discipline to get the numbers right
• Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to turn analysis into insight
• Initiative and curiosity: you take ownership, ask good questions and learn quickly
• The right to work in Ireland
• Internship or project experience in energy, finance or data analysis is an advantage but not essential. We hire for aptitude and attitude, and we invest in developing our people.

What we offer

• €45,000 - €55,000 starting salary, depending on experience
• Hybrid working from our Cork office
• A structured development path with mentorship from experienced analysts and managers
• Exposure to development, finance and operations across three technologies
• Pension contributions, generous annual leave and wellbeing support
• Support for professional development and further study
• The chance to grow with a company building and operating real clean energy assets
