- Play a critical role in guiding projects through the final development steps, ensuring a smooth transition to construction and beyond.
🎓 Qualifications and Skills:
- Utility-scale solar project experience, having taken projects from early stages to NTP.
- A strong understanding of New York's regulatory process, as well as familiarity with the broader U.S. market.
- Ideally located in New York or nearby to serve as the face of the company on the ground, interacting with key stakeholders and managing site-related activities.
