• Land Acquisition Support: Work alongside the land acquisition team and legal department to secure land rights, lease agreements, and easements necessary for project development and infrastructure corridors.
• Contractor & Consultant Management: Scope, commission, and manage technical studies, designs, and surveys (geotechnical, topographical, environmental) provided by third-party engineering firms and specialists.
• Risk Management & Problem Solving: Identify technical, regulatory, and administrative risks early in the process and implement effective mitigation strategies to keep projects moving forward.
• Reporting & Presentation: Prepare milestone reports, investment presentations, and project updates for senior management, investors, and joint-venture partners.
• Site Visits & Local Stakeholder Engagement: Conduct regular site visits, manage local stakeholder relationships, and represent the company in public hearings and institutional meetings.

• Permitting & Administrative Knowledge: Good understanding of Bulgarian territorial planning (ZUT), environmental regulations, and administrative procedures.
• Grid Connection Understanding: Familiarity with grid connection procedures, energy legislation (ZEE), and the operational frameworks of ESO and local distribution grid operators.
• Project Management Skills: Proven ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder projects, prioritize tasks, and deliver results under tight deadlines.
• Commercial Mindset: Strong problem-solving abilities with a practical, solution-driven approach to technical and administrative challenges.
