About Private Energy Partners
PEP is a fast-growing renewable energy developer on a mission to accelerate the decarbonization of energy. We deliver utility-scale renewable energy projects, related infrastructure and drive industrial decarbonisation. Our projects are commercially successful, technologically advanced, and rooted in responsible development. The PEP team works closely with the investment teams at Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners across the US, UK and Australian energy markets.
About the Role
We’re seeking a technically skilled renewable energy professional to support project development through site assessment, preliminary design, energy yield modelling, and technical- economic optimisation. The role involves cross-functional collaboration and support across project lifecycle.
Responsibilities
* Site Evaluation and Feasibility
* Assess site viability using resource data (wind, solar) and site constraint data (GIS); provide preliminary energy yield forecasts.
* Preliminary Design
* Create and optimize conceptual layouts using tools like AutoCAD, PVsyst, PVcase, and Helioscope.
* Resource and Yield Assessment
* Process data from meteorological towers or remote sensors; conduct long-term resource modelling using software such as WindPro, Windographer, and PVsyst. Ensure uptime and accuracy of measurement equipment.
* Site Optimisation and Collaboration
* Work with engineering and environmental teams to refine layouts and address site constraints. Incorporate feedback and global best practices into designs.
* Technical Support
* Coordinate with third-party consultants to provide independent resource assessment and challenge results (where appropriate). Support the development, property and grid teams with technical insights during project delivery.
* Documentation and Reporting
* Prepare reports and maintain organized records of designs, calculations, and assumptions.
Qualifications:
* Science, Maths or Engineering degree
* 5+ years in renewable energy (solar, wind, BESS)
* Proficiency with design/resource tools (e.g., PVsyst, Helioscope, AutoCAD, WindFarmer)
* Experience with wind/solar measurement and remote sensing preferred.
* Familiarity with UK grid and planning regulations a plus
* GIS experience (QGIS/ArcGIS), visualization tools (Revit), FEED and detailed design a plus
About the ideal candidate
* Experienced in renewable energy, combining strategic leading edge technical skills with clear communication.
* Driven by innovation and the mission to advance clean energy.
* Thrives in dynamic settings, values collaboration, and leads with respect and openness to diverse viewpoints.
