Profile:

The candidate (ideally with around 2 years of experience) will join the Development team based in Milan. The role focuses on supporting senior team members in the day-to-day technical and administrative development, permitting, and management of projects up to the Ready-to-Build stage.
This position focuses on the centralized development phase and permitting procedures, working in close collaboration with the team. The role does NOT involve primary origination or land scouting, as projects are passed to the development team after acquisition.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the daily management of assigned solar PV, WIND, BESS, and hybrid projects in Italy, tracking pre-construction development workflows until reaching RTB status.

• Help track work streams related to permitting, grid connections, land agreements, and environmental aspects, facilitating communication with external consultants and internal specialists.

• Support the coordination of external advisors and consultants, assisting in collecting, reviewing, and filing permitting, technical, and legal documentation.

• Keep internal tracking systems updated, including project reports, risk registers, and milestone tracking sheets, ensuring accurate data for monthly reporting.

• Provide operational support for development and acquisition due diligence for new investment opportunities.

• Promptly report potential issues, risks, or delays in permitting or grid connection processes to the Senior PDM or Management.

• Collaborate with internal departments (Operations, Finance, Legal, and Construction) to ensure a smooth flow of information throughout all project development phases.

Requirements:

• Education: Degree in Engineering, Environmental Science, Law, Economics, Management, Energy, Spatial Planning, or a related field. A technical or engineering background is preferred.

• Experience: Approximately 2 years of experience in renewable energy project development in Italy (preferably focused on utility-scale solar PV) within an IPP, development company, energy/environmental consultancy, or infrastructure fund.

• Technical & Regulatory Skills: Basic knowledge of Italian permitting procedures (PAS, VIA, AU) and grid connection processes. Previous exposure to BESS/hybrid projects or due diligence activities is a plus.

• Mindset: Hands-on approach, strong attention to detail, excellent organizational skills, strong team player, and a drive to grow in a fast-paced, well-structured environment.

• Languages: Fluent English (both written and spoken) and excellent communication skills in Italian for liaising with local authorities and stakeholders.

• IT Tools: Good command of Microsoft Office (especially Excel and PowerPoint) and familiarity with document management systems (e.g., SharePoint). Basic knowledge of GIS/mapping tools or Project Management software is a plus.

What the Company Offers

• A position within a solid, highly capitalized, and rapidly growing company in the Italian market, offering a structured career progression path.

• An international, dynamic, and merit-based working environment.
