Work model: Hybrid (typically 1–2 days in office)

 

The Role

A growing renewable energy developer is seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead utility-scale solar PV projects from permitting through to COD, and potentially through to project sale/divestment depending on the company’s strategy.

 

You will take ownership of projects across the development and delivery

  • Backed by a major private equity investor in renewable infrastructure
  • Long-term investment horizon (5–7 years) with strong capital backing
  • One of the fastest growing renewable infrastructure platforms in Europe
  • Stable growth environment — the business is well capitalised and expanding, not in survival mode

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage utility-scale solar PV projects from permitting through construction to Commercial Operation Date (COD)
  • Coordinate with engineering, permitting, grid, and external stakeholders
  • Lead internal project meetings and ensure timelines and milestones are achieved
  • Support project delivery strategy, including potential project sale during development
  • Monitor risks, budgets, and schedules across the project lifecycle

 

Key Requirements

  • 3–4+ years’ experience in project management within large-scale renewable energy projects
  • Experience delivering utility-scale PV projects
  • Fluent German (required for meetings and internal communication)
  • Technical background (electrical or civil engineering) beneficial but not essential

 

Working Environment

  • 20-person team distributed across Northern Germany
  • Hybrid structure with 1–2 office days per week
  • Travel expenses covered
  • Company car or car allowance depending on location and travel needs
