With a diversified green fleet currently generating 766 GWh of clean electricity from 566 MW of installed capacity, enough to power 283,400 households, Enery is at the forefront of driving Central and Eastern Europe's transition to sustainable energy.

But we're more than just energy and infrastructure. With a diverse, multidisciplinary team representing over 30 nationalities, we value transparency, ownership, and continuous learning. We move fast, collaborate across disciplines, and celebrate wins, big and small, together.

At Enery, ESG isn't a checkbox. It's embedded into every decision we make, from project development and construction to long-term operations.

What You'll Do:

• Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts for renewable energy projects (e.g., power purchase agreements (PPAs), grid connection agreements, land acquisition, option and lease agreements and other key project documentation) and assisting in obtaining necessary permits and licenses for renewable energy projects, including environmental approvals, building and construction permits.

• Conducting due diligence on project viability, assessing risks, and ensuring legal frameworks align with investor requirements.

• Structuring and advising on joint ventures, partnerships, co-operation agreements for renewable energy projects, including wind, solar, and BESS.

• Providing legal counsel on financing structures and facilities for renewable energy projects (e.g., project finance, public-private partnerships, and subsidies) and advising on the legal aspects of government subsidies, grants, and tax incentives for renewable energy developments.

• Supporting legal due diligence and structuring of M&A activities in the renewable energy sector, ensuring compliance with both local Austrian regulations and international standards.
