The role

Keen to join a company that champions growth and development?

Join a fast-growing infrastructure business at the forefront of the energy transition, data center development and grid connection, where regulatory strategy is a key driver of long-term growth. Driven by innovation, technology, and sustainability, the company creates high-performing spaces that enhance customer experiences while shaping the future of modern cities and commercial infrastructure.

The successful candidate will work closely with senior leadership to monitor changes across the Spanish and European regulatory landscape, assess their impact on the business, and develop strategies that turn legislative change into commercial opportunity. Combining regulatory analysis, stakeholder engagement, and strategic planning, they will influence major data centre infrastructure projects, support key business decisions, and represent the organization with government ministries, regulatory bodies, industry associations, and key stakeholders including the Ministry, CNMC, and REE.

What you'll do

Monitor, analyse and interpret Spanish and European regulatory developments affecting the energy and infrastructure sectors.
Assess the technical, operational and financial impact of new legislation on current and future business activities.
Prepare, submit and defend responses to public consultations, draft legislation, Royal Decrees and regulatory proposals.
Develop regulatory strategies that create new commercial opportunities and improve business performance.
Review commercial agreements, grid access contracts, PPAs and other infrastructure-related contracts to ensure regulatory compliance and minimise risk.
Identify regulatory barriers and propose improvements to administrative and connection processes.
Build and maintain strong relationships with government ministries, regulatory authorities, industry associations and other key stakeholders.
Represent the business in discussions with public institutions and support lobbying activities in a transparent and professional manner.
