We are looking for finance professionals for current and upcoming Project Finance Manager opportunities across Germany's renewable-energy market.

The Market Opportunity

These roles sit within growing renewable-energy and infrastructure platforms with a leading IPP company, supporting projects through financing, construction and operational phases.

· Coordinate financial, legal, technical, tax and insurance due diligence.

· Review and negotiate financing documentation, credit agreements and commercial terms.
