As part of the wider Octopus Energy group, Octopus Energy Generation (“OEGEN”) sources, invests in and actively manages a range of utility scale renewable energy assets. Since entering the renewables market in 2010, Octopus Energy Generation has grown to become one of the largest renewable investors in Europe. We are looking to expand our c.100 professionals team as we continue to scale our investments base of c£5bn and 3GW+ of renewable projects (mostly operational or in construction).

This role will sit within the OEGEN Corporate & Industrial Team focusing on building out and investing in our expanding our C&I platform, that offers on-site generation and flexibility solutions to large energy users in EU and UK. The role will be based in Germany long term, but there will be opportunity to work in the London office for the first 6 months.

We have created a network of partnerships in multiple countries, with varying capabilities and at different stages of maturities. We get inspired by entrepreneurial management teams with whom we want to work long term and accelerate our mutual ambitions not only through funding, but also by accelerating growth through strategic alignment and bringing synergies with a wider Octopus business.

Our funds have mandates to invest into multiple renewable technologies, and our current portfolio includes developers of utility-scale solar, rooftop solar, onshore wind, floating offshore wind and storage.

We love the impact we create on the planet and communities, working with each other and have fun along the way. We have a culture of empowerment, without politics and hierarchies. We work and socialise closely with other teams at OEGEN living “one team, one dream” philosophy.

We strongly encourage applications from a variety of candidates - we believe that different experiences result in increased ideas, collaboration and success. The first stage of the process will include a run through of our company culture, as well as a conversation around what is important for you in your next role.

If this sounds like you then we'd love to hear from you.

Studies have shown that some groups of people, like women, are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements. Whoever you are, if you like one of our jobs, we encourage you to apply as you might just be the candidate we hire. Across Octopus, we're looking for genuinely decent people who are honest and empathetic. Our people are our strongest asset and the unique skills and perspectives people bring to the team are the driving force of our success.
