• Collaborate with business development, commercial and finance teams to analyze cost implications, lifecycle economics, and bankability of design choices.

• Keep abreast of new technologies, market trends, and local regulatory updates relevant to renewable energy.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Energy, Civil Engineering, or a related field.

• Preferred 6-7+ years of experience in infrastructure, renewable energy projects (nearshore wind preferred).

• Proven experience in nearshore wind development, construction, and EPC/OEM contract negotiation.

• Familiarity with Vietnam permitting and development procedures is advantageous.

• Proficiency in PVSyst, WindPro, AutoCAD, GIS; additional tools is a plus.

• Experience working with EPC and OEM partners especially in wind projects.

• Good command of English; international exposure preferred.
