• Contribute to the full lifecycle of investment assessments—from early evaluation to final recommendations and commercial negotiations.
• Work closely with development, procurement, engineering, energy economics, tax, and corporate finance teams to gather and validate inputs for your analysis.
• Analyse market trends, regulatory frameworks and policy developments in Spain and Southern Europe to understand their impact on project economics and valuations.

You have

• Experience in financial modelling, ideally within energy, infrastructure, project finance or related sectors.
• Advanced Excel skills (including macros, VBA and dynamic modelling techniques) and a passion for building high-accuracy, reliable models.
• An understanding of renewable energy technologies and how energy markets operate in Spain and Europe.
• Clear, confident communication skills in English and Spanish, with the ability to prepare high-quality updates, presentations and papers for senior decision-makers.
• Some experience with valuations, due diligence, or other corporate finance activities—along with a willingness to learn and develop further.
