• Support Project Managers in maintaining project risk registers, performing quantitative risk analyses (e.g., Monte Carlo simulations where applicable), and producing risk reports to support decision-making.

• Participate in the risk assessment of project feasibility, identifying key risk drivers (e.g., permitting, grid connection, schedule, CAPEX, contractor capacity, resource assumptions, contractual allocation) and supporting mitigation planning.

• Work closely with the Energy Management team to develop and maintain risk metrics and ensure effective risk monitoring and reporting (daily and monthly), in line with internal policies and limits (VaR, PaR, P&L, MtM, stop-loss levels, secured/unsecured portfolio ratios).

• Conduct independent analyses of trading and hedging strategies, highlighting the key risk factors underlying portfolio management activities, consistent with outputs from risk tools and market data.

• Support PPA and counterparty risk analysis, including risk allocation review and exposure monitoring.

• Ensure the accuracy and reliability of risk systems and data flows, overseeing key tools such as ETRM, Power BI sales portfolio tools, and relevant industrial/project risk tools.

• Solid experience in risk management practices and European energy markets (power, gas, PPAs), including forward curves and forecasting concepts.

• Understanding project management principles and renewable project lifecycles.

• Knowledge of key risk metrics and methods (VaR, PaR, exposure, Monte Carlo simulations) and portfolio risk analysis.

• Ability to perform root cause analysis, identify trends, and recommend remediation actions.

• Ability to work independently and effectively in a complex, international environment, engaging with multiple stakeholders.

• Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
