Solar Energy Analyst

Join us in this role where you’ll provide technical expertise to support the acquisition, development, and delivery of utility-scale solar PV projects. You’ll be responsible for optimising solar project design, conducting yield assessments, and contributing to feasibility studies and due diligence processes, ensuring our solar analysis remains industry leading.

Welcome to Project Delivery
You’ll be part of Project Delivery where you, together with your colleagues, will support all stages of engineering design for solar PV developments. You’ll collaborate across markets and disciplines, contributing to technical reviews, layout optimisation, and integration with other renewable technologies.

As a team, we value knowledge sharing, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

You’ll play an important role in:

  • conducting PV layout design and energy yield assessments, including hybrid projects
  • supporting technical due diligence for solar project acquisitions
  • optimising solar project design and evaluating new technologies
  • contributing to feasibility studies, permitting, and early engineering activities
  • reviewing third-party energy yield assessments and construction cost estimates
  • supporting commercial teams with technical inputs for investment proposals.

To succeed in the role, you:

  • hold a degree in engineering or similar technical discipline, or equivalent experience
  • are proficient in solar analysis tools such as PVSYST, AUTOCAD, and PVCASE
  • have experience with solar yield modelling and on-site measurements
  • understand solar PV technologies, including modules, inverters, and mounting systems
  • are familiar with industry design and construction standards and practices
  • have a problem-solving mindset and strong commercial awareness.

Maybe you’ve read the above and can see you have some transferable skills, even though they don’t quite match all the points. If you think you can bring something to the team, we still encourage you to apply.
