You'll identify new business opportunities from public financing packages and communicate these to sales and operations management. You will ensure thorough credit screenings for prospective customers and review requirements for those nearing contract finalization.

 

You will also handle special projects like Mergers &Acquisitions (M & A) due diligence, refining standard procedures, enhancing pricing models, and creating unique financial models for energy projects. Working with leadership, you'll establish new internal financing programs, including Private Label Programs and state-mandated conduit financing programs. You'll stay informed on rebates, incentives, and funding opportunities related to ENGIE’s products, coordinating with the policy and regulatory team to track and promote new funding sources. As the Project Finance Advisor you'll present insights on incentive, rebate, and grant projects to shape business development strategy.
