About the Opportunity

An established infrastructure investment platform backed by a major global institutional investor is seeking a senior wind energy professional to oversee a newly acquired portfolio of onshore wind assets in Germany.

 

This is a unique opportunity to move into the investor side of the renewable energy market, providing strategic oversight across a portfolio of operational and construction-stage wind projects rather than managing day-to-day project execution.

 

The successful candidate will act as the investor's technical representative, working closely with the operating partner responsible for project delivery and asset management.

 

Candidate Profile

  • 10+ years of experience within the wind energy sector.
  • Strong background in wind project construction, delivery or portfolio management.
  • Experience overseeing multiple projects or large-scale asset portfolios.
  • Strong understanding of construction risks, scheduling and cost management.
  • Knowledge of EPC, construction and project-related contracts.
  • Comfortable operating at senior management and executive level.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
  • Fluent German and English.

 

Desirable Experience

  • Asset management experience within renewable energy.
  • Experience working for investors, IPPs, utilities, developers or owner's engineering consultancies.
  • Exposure to wind repowering projects.
  • Experience managing external delivery partners and contractors.

 

What's on Offer?

  • Opportunity to join a growing renewable energy investment platform backed by a leading institutional investor.
  • Strategic role with significant influence and visibility.
  • Oversight of a substantial German wind portfolio.
  • Exposure to both operational and construction-stage assets.
  • Opportunity to contribute to future renewable energy investments and acquisitions.
  • Strong long-term career potential as the platform expands across Germany and Europe.

 

If you are a senior wind professional looking to leverage your technical expertise in a strategic investor-side role, we would be pleased to hear from you.
