About Syneria

Syneria is an independent
Technical Advisory
and
Engineering Consultancy
specializing in
Wind and Solar PV
, progressing on BESS as well. It helps developers, investors, and lenders develop, build, operate, finance, and transact profitable renewable energy projects.

Syneria was founded in 2018 in France by senior experts with past experiences at top engineering consultancies, but also wind turbine suppliers and renewable energy project developers. To date, Syneria consists of 25 dedicated professionals spread across 5 offices in France (Paris, Rennes, Montpellier), Madrid in Spain (opening in 2026) and Manila in the Philippines, to cover the ASEAN region. The team is now bringing a proven track record of over 30GW of renewable energy projects worldwide.

Acknowledging the swift expansion of renewable energy in Southeast Asia, Syneria has been active in the ASEAN region since 2020. In 2023, Syneria further broadened its operations by establishing a first operational hub in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and are now extending its presence to Manila, Philippines in 2025. Through its network of trusted local partners, its services combine global expertise with local market insights, acting as a one-stop shop providing high quality services and responsiveness.

The Syneria's main services were founded on 2 pillars:

• Technical Due Diligence (TDD):
  Ensuring seamless financing and M&A transactions by assessing technical risks through full TDD scope, optimizing CAPEX/OPEX, ensuring bankability and translating technical insights into clear financial metrics.
• Support to Project Developers/Owners:
  Acting as an extension of technical teams for wind/PV site selection, support in Pre-Feasibility/Feasibility Assessment, Geographical Information System (GIS) analysis, wind measurement campaigns, technology selection, preliminary design, layout optimisation, bankable energy yield assessments, supply/construction and O&M contracts review, Owner's Engineer support and plant inspections.

The size and structure of the company allow for a high degree of work flexibility and offer many professional opportunities.

Your Role

As one of the first hires in our Manila office, this position at Syneria in the Philippines represents a pivotal role within our organization, offering the successful candidate extensive opportunities for professional growth, working closely with the Regional Manager (based in Manila) and play a key role in Syneria's expansion in the Philippines and in the ASEAN region.

• PV plant design review as part of Technical Due Diligence services;
• Bankable energy yield assessment for projects under development or to be built: analysis of PV data measured on site, modelling in PVsyst and internal tools, calculation of losses and associated uncertainties;
• Operational energy yield assessment for existing projects for refinancing or sale/acquisition: analysis of daily/monthly operation data, long-term irradiation and estimation of future production losses, as well as associated uncertainties;
• Analysis of PV plant data during their test on completion, during the acceptance phase (end of project construction);
• Performance analysis of existing PV plant based on operation data and operation and maintenance reports;
• Site visits and PV plant inspections;
