The renewable energy sector continues to be a key driver of job creation in Spain and Portugal, with new job openings posted in the last 24 hours, reflecting the growing demand for specialized professionals in this expanding industry. The available positions stand out not only for their geographical diversity but also for the variety of professional profiles and renewable technologies involved.

In Spain, companies are prioritizing the hiring of project managers, specialized technicians, and consultants in the environmental and renewable energy fields. Among the most in-demand profiles are the Tender Manager for Audax Renovables in Badalona, and the Photovoltaic Construction Manager for Greening España in Granada. Additionally, positions related to hydrogen are also gaining prominence, such as the Hydrogen Project Planning Analyst at Cepsa (Madrid), reflecting the growing role this technology plays in decarbonization plans.

In Portugal, the trend is also toward technical and commercial profiles. Notable positions include the Commercial Representative – Renewable Energies for ERTEC in Porto, and Project Manager – Utility Scale Renewable Energies for INTELCIA, also in Porto, both related to the promotion and management of energy efficiency projects.

The major players in the energy sector in the Iberian Peninsula are leading the hiring efforts. Companies like Audax Renovables, ACCIONA, Grenergy Renovables, Cepsa, and Global Energy Services (GES) are actively seeking new talent for their projects. Meanwhile, in Portugal, companies such as ERTEC and INTELCIA are at the forefront of the job market in the region, primarily focused on the management and expansion of large-scale renewable energy projects.

Job opportunities are split between in-person and hybrid roles, with a clear trend towards fieldwork or office-based roles, though some flexibility exists for more strategic or planning-related positions. In Spain, hybrid work is notable in companies like Cepsa, which offers this option for the Hydrogen Project Planning Analyst position, or Lightsource bp for the Associate Performance Analyst role in Madrid. On the other hand, in Portugal, most offers are fully in-person, especially for technical and commercial roles, such as those at ERTEC and Clan by Multipessoal.

Most job offers are related to the photovoltaic and wind sectors, two of the most important technologies in the Iberian Peninsula’s energy transition. Positions such as Assistant to the Photovoltaic Projects Director for GES in Aragón and the Unit Manager for PYG AGUA Y MEDIO AMBIENTE in Valencia are directly tied to the management of these technologies.

Moreover, hydrogen is starting to emerge as a key source of employment, with companies like Cepsa hiring specialized analysts for their hydrogen project planning, reinforcing the trend toward diversification of renewable energy sources.

In terms of location, Spain has a wide distribution of offers, with focus areas in Madrid, Barcelona, Zaragoza, and Granada, while Portugal is mainly centered around Porto and Lisbon. Opportunities are spread across both urban and rural areas, reflecting the expansion of renewable projects throughout the Iberian Peninsula.

The renewable energy job market continues to demonstrate its resilience and ability to generate quality employment in the Iberian Peninsula, with strong demand for technical, commercial, and project management profiles in both Spain and Portugal. The diversification of technologies, the expansion of photovoltaic and wind projects, along with the entry of hydrogen, define the direction of new job opportunities in this booming sector.
