Job description
A growing renewable energy platform is seeking a talented and driven Project Finance Associate to support the financial strategy and execution of its solar, BESS, EV charging, and powered land development and acquisition pipeline. The Associate will play a critical role in building, updating, and maintaining detailed financial models across the active portfolio, while also supporting buy- and sell-side M&A diligence and transactional execution. This role includes modeling and analysis for PPA and community solar RFPs. The ideal candidate is highly analytical, detail-oriented, and eager to take ownership of key deliverables in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
The Associate will report directly to the Chief Investment Officer and work closely with stakeholders across development, engineering, legal, and capital markets. They will be joining an experienced, well-staffed team with deep expertise across project finance, capital markets, and renewable energy development. This role offers broad exposure to both sides of the transaction—acquisitions and dispositions—as well as greenfield development and traditional project finance, and plays a key role in shaping the financial strategy for a range of asset classes, including solar, BESS, EV infrastructure, and powered land.

Assist with transaction structuring, investor negotiations, and execution of financing documents
Monitor late-stage and operational project financials, identifying risks and proposing mitigants
Track market trends, policy developments, and valuation benchmarks relevant to solar and BESS financing
Qualifications
2–5 years of experience in renewable energy project finance, investment banking, corporate development, or M&A, with direct exposure to solar and/or BESS
Advanced Excel modeling skills, including project cash flows, scenario/sensitivity analysis, and valuation frameworks
Familiarity with tax equity structures (e.g., partnership flip) and renewable energy financing mechanics
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex analyses into actionable insights
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple high-priority workstreams under tight timelines with precision
Proactive, collaborative approach with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
