Lead and manage technical due diligence assignments, advising clients through the financial close phase.
Assess and mitigate technical risks across project CAPEX, OPEX, and revenue forecasts.
Coordinate with legal, insurance, and financial advisors to ensure comprehensive project evaluations.
Review and negotiate key contracts (e.g., EPC, O&M, PPA, and Wind Turbine Generator Supply agreements) for both solar and wind projects.

Owner’s Engineer Services:

Oversee project feasibility studies, providing detailed technical input from preliminary assessments to full economic analysis.
Monitor construction progress, ensuring alignment with design specifications and best practices.
Manage EPC and O&M tender preparations, participate in contract negotiations, and guide clients through the award process.
Conduct on-site project acceptance testing and commissioning, collaborating with contractors to resolve issues and ensure project milestones are met.
Oversee project operations, supporting clients during the operational period to optimize performance and ensure long-term asset integrity.

Additional Tasks:

Conduct thorough technical reviews of project permits, designs, and resource assessments.
Lead and document technical inspections during construction and commissioning phases.
Propose strategies for risk mitigation, drawing on comprehensive knowledge of renewable energy project lifecycles.

In-depth experience as both a Lender's and Owner's Technical Advisor, handling technical due diligence, particularly in PV EPC, O&M, PPA, and Wind Turbine contracts, including EPC, WTG supply, O&M agreements, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPA).
Proven ability to manage and execute Owner's Engineer responsibilities, including design review, project management, and technical advisory throughout the development, construction, and operational phases.
Hands-on experience with construction monitoring and inspections, guiding clients through the construction process to ensure adherence to technical and regulatory requirements, industry standards, and project goals.
Competency in reviewing and overseeing acceptance testing and commissioning activities performed by contractors, addressing issues promptly to ensure on-time project handover.
Familiarity with feasibility studies and resource assessments for solar and wind projects, with an understanding of economic, technical, and operational considerations that influence project viability.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a proven ability to assess technical risks, propose mitigation strategies, and support both TDD and OE functions across CAPEX, OPEX, and revenue forecasts.
Excellent project management skills, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, managing timelines, and aligning project deliverables with client expectations.
Proficient in technical software tools relevant to both TDD and OE roles, with a demonstrated ability to learn and adapt to new systems quickly.
High level of organization, capable of managing complex, concurrent projects while ensuring quality, budget, and schedule targets.
Strong interpersonal and communication abilities, with the capacity to convey technical information clearly and adapt messaging to different audiences, including sponsors, contractors, and lenders.
Willingness to travel for short assignments across Africa, as required.
Fluent in spoken and written English. French and/or Portuguese language skills are advantageous.
