• Support: Provide support to prospection and development teams, in particular by contributing to the preparation and monitoring of project application files.

Project Prospection & Development

• Prospection support: Contribute to site selection and the pre-assessment of agricultural projects proposed by prospects.
• Technical structuring: Lead the preparation of the agricultural components of project dossiers (agricultural reports, EPA, EFTE, environmental impact studies, etc.), in close partnership with farmers and internal teams.
• Agronomic consistency: Supervise agricultural studies, ensure the relevance of projects and oversee their proper implementation from development through to execution.

Network & Representation

• Key contact: Build and maintain a strong network with agricultural stakeholders in Corsica (Chamber of Agriculture, trade unions, institutions, farmers).
• Representation: Present and defend our agrivoltaic projects to all stakeholders, with the support of the development team.
• Sector contribution: Actively participate in working groups aimed at shaping the future of the agrivoltaic sector.
