  • Build, refine, and maintain detailed financial models for active development and operating assets.
  • Conduct underwriting analyses, including discounted cash flow valuation, unlevered and levered return analysis, sensitivity and scenario modeling, and capital/operating cost forecasting.
  • Update models as project assumptions evolve.
  • Support project-level and corporate-level financing processes, including term sheet evaluation and capital structure optimization.
  • Assist with debt financing modeling and lender/investor presentations.
  • Support preparation of materials for equity sponsors, JV partners, and commercial lenders.
  • Work with development, commercial, and technical teams to ensure financial assumptions reflect real-time project conditions.
  • Present financial insights to internal leadership in a clear, concise manner.

Qualifications

  • 2–4 years of analytical finance experience: Investment banking, project finance, corporate finance, strategic finance
  • Advanced Excel financial modeling capability (DCF, structured multi-tab modeling, sensitivity analysis).
  • Understanding of cash flow, debt sizing, capital structure mechanics, and returns analysis.
  • Experience in power, energy infrastructure, midstream, LNG, utilities, or other large capital-project environments.
  • Exposure to project debt financing and/or joint venture equity structures.
  • Strong communication and materials preparation skills.
