• Facilitate the exchange of project information to applicable parties in support of due-diligence reviews. Manage deliverables of independent engineers (reports, certificates, etc.) in tandem with the applicable financing schedule.
• Monitor and prepare for critical project milestones (e.g. Mechanical Completion, Substantial Completion) and coordinate necessary third-party certifications required for financing milestones.
• Monitor critical project milestones (Mechanical Completion, Permission to Operate, Substantial Completion) and coordinate necessary third-party certifications required for financing.
• Lead the organization of necessary project documents and design reviews.
• Support the management team in the IE due diligence process and ongoing development of risk management practices.

What you’ll bring:

• 5+ years of experience in the renewable energy sector with 1+ years of experience in contract management.
• Bachelor’s degree in quantitative subjects: Engineering, Sciences, or equivalent.
• Independent engineering experience with technical and financial due diligence background preferred.
• Solar PV design, development, construction, or asset management experience preferred.
• Commitment to Nexamp's mission and have a passion for solving tomorrow's climate crisis today.
• Demonstrated experience in effectively communicating information, ideas, and perspectives with people inside and beyond your organization.
• Experience in showcasing initiative to make improvements to current work, processes, products, and services across the organization. We value accountability and an ownership mentality.
• Ability to ask appropriate questions, analyze data, identify the root causes of problems, and present creative solutions.
• Expertise in building strong internal and external relationships with customers and stakeholders, instilling trust and loyalty across the industry.
• Eagerness to develop a fundamental understanding of how Nexamp operates and then apply that knowledge effectively to inform business decisions.
