What do we rely on at ENCAVIS? The sun. The wind. And on you.
Welcome to Encavis! Our world is all about the power of the sun, the wind and the more than 400 people across our group who are working together to shape the energy system of the future in order to ensure a sustainable energy supply for future generations.
ENCAVIS Management GmbH & Co. KG is the holding company of ENCAVIS GmbH, one of Europe's leading electricity producers from renewable energies. We operate a broadly diversified portfolio of over 330 onshore wind farms, ground-mounted solar plants and battery storage facilities in 13 European countries with an installed capacity of more than 3.8 GW. And best of all, we are continuing to grow! Our subsidiaries, Stern Energy SpA, which operates throughout Europe as a specialist in technical services for photovoltaic systems, and Encavis Portfolio Management GmbH, which specialises in supporting institutional investors, complement our portfolio.
What does this mean for you? The opportunity to make a difference, to shape and change things. As part of a multinational team that enjoys helping to make the energy transition a success.
As Legal Counsel – Energy Sales Contracts, you will take on a key in-house role at the intersection of law, energy markets and commercial decision-making. Based in Milan or Madrid, you will actively shape energy sales structures in an international renewable energy environment. You will work on sophisticated PPA and hedging structures, collaborate closely with investment, risk and financing experts, and contribute directly to the commercial success of renewable energy projects across Europe. This position offers you high responsibility, strong visibility within the organization and the opportunity to develop long-term legal solutions in a fast-evolving regulatory and commercial energy landscape.
Your sunny outlook:
- Drafting & Negotiation of Energy Sales Contracts: You draft, review and negotiate complex Power Purchase Agreements (physical and financial), on-site PPAs, direct marketing agreements and green electricity contracts across European markets.
- Legal Support Across the Deal Lifecycle: You provide legal guidance throughout origination, tender and execution phases, supporting commercial decisions with clear, pragmatic legal input.
- Cross-Functional Stakeholder Collaboration: You work closely with PPA Origination, Investment, Project Finance, Energy Risk Management and Portfolio Management teams to align legal, commercial and risk perspectives.
- Regulatory Monitoring & Legal Assessment: You continuously monitor developments in European energy law and assess their impact on PPA structures, contract templates and transaction risks.
- Tender Processes & Decision Support: You support tender procedures and present legal analyses, risk assessments and concrete recommendations to internal committees and decision-makers.
- Interface Management with External Advisors: You act as a key interface between internal specialist departments and external legal advisors, coordinating national and international law firms efficiently.
We'll get wind of that soon:
- Law Degree & Qualification: You hold a law degree with honors in Italy or Spain and are fully qualified to practice law in your jurisdiction.
- Relevant Professional Experience: You have at least five years of professional experience in renewable energy law, ideally gained in a commercially oriented law firm or the legal department of an energy, infrastructure or financial company.
- Strong Contract & Negotiation Skills: You bring solid experience in drafting and negotiating complex commercial and project-related contracts, ideally within energy or infrastructure projects.
- Structured & Solution-Oriented Mindset: You work independently, think analytically and approach legal challenges with a pragmatic, business-oriented mindset.
- Excellent Communication Skills: You communicate clearly and confidently with stakeholders at all levels and are comfortable presenting legal assessments to decision-makers.
- Language & Personal Strengths: You are fluent in business English and Italian or Spanish, demonstrate high reliability, team spirit and a strong sense of responsibility, and complete your profile with assertiveness and negotiation strength.
