Role description:

Arcadis is looking for a growth-oriented Senior Renewable Energy Development and Funding Professional to assist with the expansion of our North American Energy Transition services.  This position will support both private and public sector clients, including utilities, renewable energy developers, industrial manufacturing, commercial, government, and quasi-government clients, as well as emerging investment and clean energy innovation entrants to the market.  This position can be based out of any of our US offices. 

Role accountabilities:

As a Senior Renewable Energy Development and Funding Professional, you will work within a team in our North American Resilience business group that serves a broad range of clients and project types across many market sectors.
