Admin Jobs. AltGen Jobs
This isn’t a “greenfield dreamer” role — the business already has a large portfolio of projects under development, but too few are passing Investment Committee. The reason? Development discipline. Projects need sharper screening, structured stop/go decisions, and stronger commercial fundamentals to hit IRR targets.
We’re looking for someone who’s done this before — someone who knows what it takes to deliver C&I projects in the African context, navigating off-taker due diligence, grid connection challenges, EPC interfaces, and local permitting processes.
What You’ll Do
- Lead the end-to-end development of distributed solar PV and BESS projects (1–5 MW) from site origination through to NTP and COD.
- Build and enforce a bankable development process — from early-stage feasibility and tariff modelling to EPC contracting and financial close.
- Work closely with the CEO to drive IRR improvements, cost optimisation, and pipeline conversion.
- Oversee technical, commercial, and regulatory workstreams — including PPA negotiation, permitting, and grid approvals.
- Manage and mentor a small, high-performing development and delivery team, ensuring accountability and efficiency in a lean structure.
- Engage directly with investors, shareholders, and lenders on project economics and risk mitigation.
What You’ll Bring
- Proven success delivering C&I solar and/or BESS projects (1–5 MW) in East Africa or similar emerging markets.
- Deep understanding of project economics — LCOE drivers, IRR sensitivities, capex/opex levers, and investment-readiness criteria.
- Strong grasp of PPA structuring, EPC and O&M contracting, grid-interconnection, and local compliance.
- Ability to design and implement a structured development framework that moves projects through clear decision gates.
- A hands-on leadership style — equally comfortable in the boardroom and on-site.
- Experience managing small, multi-disciplinary teams and working closely with a CEO or executive leadership group.
- Location: Nairobi, Kenya (full relocation and visa sponsorship
