Power Belgium’s Green Future – Be Our Renewables Site Finder (FR+NL)!
At Luminus, our Production Department guarantees the continuity of the energy supply by maximising the conversion of wind and water power into electricity while ensuring the flexibility of our thermal power stations to compensate for periods of low renewable production. Safety and respect for the environment guide all our actions.
As a Renewables Site Finder, you’ll work across both Flanders and Wallonia, engaging with local stakeholders, landowners, and project teams. Therefore, we’re looking for someone who is perfectly bilingual in Dutch and French, with excellent communication skills in both languages
What you’ll do
- In your daily work, you use maps, databases, and field visits to actively search for new renewable energy sites.
- When assessing site feasibility, you gather and analyze land data, zoning plans, and regulatory constraints.
- By staying ahead of legislative changes, you ensure you engage with key authorities to unlock new opportunities.
- During site selection, you work closely with developers, biodiversity specialists, and grid connection teams to identify the best locations.
- As you present and defend site proposals, you support the team in obtaining all necessary approvals and authorizations.
- Through your proactive and entrepreneurial approach, you promote sustainable energy solutions in this fast-evolving industry.
What you bring
- You hold a bachelor’s or master’s in geography, spatial planning, environmental sciences, engineering, or a related field.
- You communicate fluently in Dutch and French. Why? You must be able to communicate in the developer’s language when collaborating on projects in both Flanders and Wallonia.
- You have 3–5 years’ experience in land analysis, renewables, or a similar sector.
- You’re skilled in data analysis, GIS software, and land use interpretation.
- You are proactive, analytical, and detail-oriented, with a passion for renewable energy.
- You think creatively, embrace challenges, and always put the customer first.
Why join us
- You’ll work alongside experts in wind energy, GIS, and biodiversity, expanding your skills and network.
- You’ll actively shape Belgium’s renewable energy landscape and grow through hands-on and theoretical training.
- You work and connect with your colleagues at a Luminus office or from home. Need some flexibility? Your manager is open to discuss what works.
