Who we’re looking for

About Schroders                                                                           

Schroders Greencoat is the leading investment manager dedicated solely to renewables and has around £9 billion of wind, solar and energy transition assets under management. This is across publicly listed vehicles and a range of private market pooled funds and mandates that invest in renewable infrastructure. On behalf of our clients, we currently own and operate assets in the UK, Europe and the US. Schroders Greencoat is now part of the Schroders Capital, Schroders’ private markets division.  This significantly enhances the range and breadth of opportunities that Schroders Greencoat accesses as part of a leading private markets business.

Renewable energy is a multi-trillion-dollar global asset class and is expected to grow by more than $100 billion a year over the next decade. Utilities, energy companies and infrastructure developers will deliver the majority of this transition, but the scale of capital involved will require significant external financing. There exists a very large and growing pool of capital which is keen to own and operate these assets but lacks the deep technical skills and sector expertise to manage the investments independently. Our purpose is to bridge this gap – to be a conduit for this capital, and to provide the financial, technical and operational expertise to deliver secure incomes for our clients. Founded in 2009, we have built a reputation for unwavering delivery of our investment propositions, as well as for innovation – having forged institutional-grade offerings in renewable infrastructure that have become the model for an entire industry sector. 

The base

Greencoat’s Dublin offices are located in The Merrion Building, Merrion Street Lower, Dublin 2
