Market Intelligence & Competitive Insights

• Lead market intelligence gathering across gas, solar, wind, BESS, and clean‑fuel sectors, including tracking policy changes, competitive positioning, procurement timelines, and technology trends.

• Monitor competitor pipelines, land strategies, bid behaviours, and publicly available project filings to inform Atura’s site origination and bidding strategy.

• Translate complex market data into actionable insights for BD leadership.

Data Synthesis & Reporting

• Collect, structure, and synthesize large datasets from engineering, commercial, environmental, and operations sources into decision‑ready summaries and dashboards.

• Prepare high‑quality reporting for senior leadership, Board updates, and governance committees, including market summaries, project comparisons, and financial insights.

• Support development of recurring BD reporting frameworks, including KPIs, progress trackers, and analytics tools.

Techno‑Economic Modelling

• Build and maintain techno‑economic (discounted cash flow) models for multi‑technology development options (gas, wind, solar, BESS), integrating production modelling, costs, interconnection factors, and revenue forecasts.

• Conduct scenario analyses, sensitivities, and economic comparisons to guide project prioritization and proposal strategy.

• Support development of inputs for early‑stage DCF analyses, working with senior analysts to refine assumptions and results.

Technology Due Diligence & Feasibility Assessments

• Perform technology due diligence on OEM solutions, technology maturity, performance assumptions, degradation rates, and supply‑chain considerations.

• Support feasibility assessments using GIS tools, engineering inputs, resource data, land characteristics, and environmental considerations.

• Review consultant studies, engineering packages, interconnection information, and technical reports to validate assumptions used in BD modelling.

Risk Evaluation & Project Screening

• Conduct comprehensive risk evaluations across permitting, grid constraints, environmental, technical, commercial, and schedule domains.

• Maintain structured risk registers, clearly communicating material issues and recommending mitigation strategies.

• Contribute risk‑adjusted insights into BCS packages, site prioritization frameworks, and BD strategy reviews.

Partnership & Equity Participation Assessments

• Support analysis of partnership structures, equity participation pathways, and economic modelling associated with shared ownership arrangements.

• Assist in evaluating development partners, joint ventures, and acquisition candidates through technical, commercial, and financial due diligence.

• Prepare partnership briefings, valuation summaries, and comparative assessments for internal approval processes.

Project Documentation, Coordination & Governance

• Contribute inputs into Business Case Summaries (BCS), ensuring modelling, risks, assumptions, and supporting evidence are complete and accurate.

• Maintain structured project documentation including action logs, schedules, risk registers, assumptions books, and version control.

• Support cross‑functional stakeholders (Engineering, Environmental, Operations, Indigenous Relations, Finance) in assembling project development deliverables.

• Organize and support internal reviews, steering committees, and governance checkpoints.

Proposal & Bid Development Support

• Support preparation of bid submission materials: technical summaries, economic inputs, risk assessments, competitor intelligence, site assessments, and scoring analyses.

• Coordinate internal review cycles, ensuring alignment across engineering, commercial, permitting, Indigenous engagement, and finance teams.

• Experience preparing data‑driven reports, dashboards, and structured analyses for leadership audiences.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, work independently, and handle ambiguity in a fast‑paced development environment.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills; ability to translate complex subjects for diverse audiences.

Preferred

• Experience in renewable or conventional power development (solar, wind, BESS, gas, hydrogen).

• Knowledge of techno‑economic modelling, DCF concepts, and early‑stage project valuation.

• Familiarity with GIS tools for site screening and analysis.

• Experience with regulatory, permitting, environmental review, or interconnection processes.

• Exposure to partnership modelling (including equity arrangements), acquisition due diligence, or commercial structuring.

• Certificates such as CFA Level 1, PMP‑in‑progress, CEM, or related technical credentials.

Education/Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, Economics, Environmental Studies, Energy Systems, or similar technical/commercial discipline.

• 4–8 years of progressive analytical experience in energy, utilities, infrastructure, or related sectors.
