G310 - Intern (m/f/d) Technical Internship in the Sustainable Energy Project Development

You will support the project team during the internship with both organisational and content-related tasks, including:

• Extract and analyse measured or recorded energy consumption data (e. g., load profiles) from online portals and conduct quality checks on the data
• Extrapolate future energy consumption profiles based on available measured or recorded weekly, monthly, and annual data
• Prepare load profiles by modelling energy consumption from key equipment and their operational patterns over daily, weekly, and monthly cycles
• Assist with technical data validation for renewable technologies, such as solar PV, energy efficiency measures, process heat, and green hydrogen
• Support project development activities in the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector, including preparing tender documents, evaluating offers, and assisting with deal closure activities
• Perform research on renewable energy topics and develop country-specific profiles to aid in project planning and decision-making
• Provide general support for project management tasks across various phases of project implementation
• Assist in managing content on web-based platforms for training and project development purposes

• You are currently studying in the field of natural science, engineering or economics and have gained initial experience in the field of renewable energies and/or energy efficiency
• Good overview technical knowledge of the different renewable technology solutions for electrical and thermal energy supply and the associated business models
• Knowledge in the fields of energy efficiency, decentralized electrification and industrial self-consumption is desirable
• As the project works closely with German renewable energy and energy efficiency companies and the relevant industry associations, knowledge of the industry structure is an advantage
• Previous knowledge in the use of simulation software for renewable systems, especially PV(-hybrid), Thermal supply and Hydrogen such as HOMER and/or TopEnergy is desirable
• Prior experience in the field of financial modelling of renewable energy projects is an advantage
• Very good Microsoft office skills (Excel, Word, PowerPoint)
• For the internship, very good English skills (language level C1) are necessary for internal and external communication; knowledge of German and French/Spanish at language level C1 is an advantage
