Job description

We're not just building solar plants and battery storage — we're building the energy system of tomorrow.

Matrix Renewables is a global Independent Power Producer backed by TPG Rise, the world's largest private markets impact investing platform. From Spain to the U.S., from Italy to Chile, we develop, build, finance, and operate renewable energy projects.

Since 2020 we've grown into an international platform spanning solar PV, battery storage, and green hydrogen — backed by industry recognition from IJGlobal, Proximo, and the FT1000.

What makes us different? Our people — collaborative, entrepreneurial, and unafraid to challenge the status quo of an industry in the middle of its biggest transformation. And we back that up with one of the most competitive benefits packages in the market: 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision from day one (no waiting period, no deductibles for in-network care), a 401(k) with up to a 3.5% employer match, and 23 days of PTO plus 13 paid holidays a year.

If you want your work to matter — to power homes, protect the planet, and grow a career at the same time — this is where you build it.

Join us. Let's power what's next.
