Energy Engineer – Hydrocarbons & New Energies

Introduction
ING Wholesale Banking is expanding its Hydrocarbons & New Energies Technical Team in Amsterdam with an experienced Energy Engineer. This role offers a unique opportunity to apply deep engineering expertise to support the financing of complex energy projects across both fossil hydrocarbons and emerging new energy technologies.

The team
The Energy sector is a key pillar of ING Wholesale Banking, where ING maintains a long-term strategic focus and holds a global leading position in Structured Energy Financing. Within this sector, the Hydrocarbons and New Energies (H&NE) team focuses exclusively on (i) fossil Hydrocarbons financing - such as Reserves Based Lending - and (ii) emerging new energy technologies, reflecting ING’s commitment to supporting the energy transition.

The ING H&NE Technical Team plays a strategic role by assessing technical risks, exploring mitigation strategies and, where possible, integrating them into the lending agreement. The team also prepares internal and external technical memorandums to support the credit decision making and syndication processes, and advises on project bankability. Their deep sector expertise and global experience help build client trust, positioning ING as a value-added partner beyond financial solutions.

To support our continued growth and diversification into bio-fuels and gases, including HVO and Sustainable Aviation Fuel, Carbon Capture, Utilization and Sequestration, Hydrogen and e-Fuels, we are expanding our Technical Team with an Energy Engineer based in Amsterdam. You will be a valuable contributor to our global team of energy bankers.
