Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about a time you had to present a project to local government officials or a community meeting.
What they are checking: Whether they stay calm and clear with public audiences who may be skeptical of a new energy project.
Describe a time you worked with cross-functional teams like environmental, engineering and legal to reduce project risk.
What they are checking: Whether they can coordinate specialists and keep due diligence moving instead of waiting on each team.
Why does utility-scale renewable development interest you, and what part of the work do you most want to grow in?
What they are checking: Whether they have a realistic picture of a long, uncertain development cycle and want to stick with it.
What would you do
A landowner is hesitant to sign a lease for a wind project. How do you approach that conversation?
What they are checking: Whether they can build trust with landowners and negotiate fairly, since site control depends on those relationships.
A county board starts discussing a moratorium on solar projects while your project is in development. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they respond with local engagement and good information rather than panic or pushing too hard.
What do you do when due diligence turns up a problem late in development?
What they are checking: Whether they raise bad news quickly and look for solutions, since hiding issues costs far more later.
About the work
Walk me through how you would do a fatal flaw analysis on a possible solar or wind site.
What they are checking: Whether they know the common deal killers, like interconnection, wetlands, zoning and land, before money gets spent.
What terms in a land lease or easement matter most to a developer, and which ones matter most to a landowner?
What they are checking: Whether they understand both sides of the agreement well enough to find terms that work for each.
How does the generation interconnection process affect which projects move forward?
What they are checking: Whether they understand that queue position, study costs and upgrades often decide a project's fate.
How would you compare two prospective sites to decide which one deserves more development money?
What they are checking: Whether they weigh resource quality, land, grid access and local support together instead of fixating on one factor.
