Investment Associate (m/w/d)

Job Description

Welcome to Encavis! Our world is all about the power of the sun, the wind and the more than 400 people across our group who are working together to shape the energy system of the future in order to ensure a sustainable energy supply for future generations.

ENCAVIS Management GmbH & Co. KG is the holding company of ENCAVIS GmbH, one of Europe's leading electricity producers from renewable energies. We operate a broadly diversified portfolio of over 330 onshore wind farms, ground-mounted solar plants and battery storage facilities in 13 European countries with an installed capacity of more than 3.8 GW. And best of all, we are continuing to grow! Our subsidiaries, Stern Energy SpA, which operates throughout Europe as a specialist in technical services for photovoltaic systems, and Encavis Portfolio Management GmbH, which specialises in supporting institutional investors, complement our portfolio.

What does this mean for you? The opportunity to make a difference, to shape and change things. As part of a multinational team that enjoys helping to make the energy transition a success.

Many paths lead to Encavis - yours could be the start of an exceptional journey. Bring your expertise to a team where your impact is visible from day one. At Encavis, you'll take on a key role in the entire investment process: identifying opportunities, leading negotiations, and shaping strategic decisions. Expect diverse responsibilities, close collaboration with specialists across departments, and the chance to optimize processes while driving the energy transition forward -- in close cooperation with other departments.

Your sunny outlook

• Deal Leadership & Execution: You lead deal teams for onshore wind, PV, and battery storage (BESS) transactions across Europe, driving the entire process from sourcing to closing.
• Comprehensive Due Diligence: You coordinate thorough due diligence with internal experts and external consultants to ensure robust risk assessment and compliance.
• Financial Modeling & Analysis: You develop and maintain detailed financial models for wind farms, solar parks, and BESS projects to support sound investment decisions.
• Commercial & Contract Negotiations: You negotiate key agreements - including purchase, EPC, development, O&M, and full maintenance contracts - to secure optimal terms for each transaction.
• Project Financing & PPAs: You manage project financing structures and power purchase agreements (PPAs) in close collaboration with internal specialist teams.
• Investment Presentation & Stakeholder Alignment: You present transactions and investment recommendations to the investment team, senior management, and the shareholders, ensuring strategic alignment.

We'll get wind of that soon

• Academic Background & Expertise: You have completed a degree in business administration, finance, or industrial engineering, ideally complemented by an additional qualification such as an MBA or CFA.
• Transaction Experience in Renewables: You bring several years of hands-on experience in executing M&A transactions in the wind, PV, and BESS sectors across Europe.
• Financial Modeling Proficiency: You possess strong skills in building and analyzing cash flow-based financial models to support investment decisions.
• Industry Network & Relationship Building: You have an established network in the European renewable energy sector and are eager to leverage it for successful deal execution.
• Multilingual Communication Skills: You speak fluent German and English and ideally have advanced knowledge of an additional language such as Italian, Spanish, Danish, or Dutch.
• Flexibility & Travel Readiness: You are willing to travel occasionally and adapt quickly to changing priorities in a dynamic investment environment.
