What are your responsibilities?

Time to write a new story. With your confident and engaging personality, you proactively approach landowners and tenants—both agricultural and industrial. You effortlessly build a relationship of trust, which soon leads to negotiations and ultimately the signing of an agreement. Thanks to you, a brand-new Solar project is fully charged and ready to take off.
Building sustainable external relationships—before, during, and after contracts are signed—is second nature to you. That means you’ll spend most of your time on the road, meeting and engaging with stakeholders.
Keeping your team informed is key. Throughout all phases of contract negotiations, you ensure your colleagues stay up to date on changing circumstances. Together, you look for the optimal layout of solar projects to benefit landowners and key stakeholders.
Check & double-check. You contribute to the drafting of contracts while ensuring that landowners’ specific needs and requirements are met. You can always count on professional legal support.
Proactively renewing and extending agreements before their expiration date is an essential part of your role—you keep a close eye on the calendar to stay ahead.
Beyond commercial and communication tasks, you maintain a structured administrative workflow, keeping a clear overview of your responsibilities and achievements.
In this role, you report to the Teamleader Utility Scale Solar PV.
