We are supporting a well-capitalised renewable energy IPP that is scaling its German delivery platform. With projects already financed and moving into construction, they are now hiring a Senior Project Manager to take full ownership of utility-scale Solar PV and BESS projects.
This is a key hire within a lean, international EPC team and offers genuine autonomy, visibility, and responsibility. You will be trusted to lead projects end-to-end and help shape how construction is delivered in Germany.
Your Role
As Senior Project Manager, you will manage assigned PV and BESS projects across their full lifecycle, from site establishment through to final completion, ensuring delivery on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards.
You will act as the central interface between EPC contractors, internal stakeholders, utilities, and regulators, while proactively identifying and mitigating project risks.

Manage all local stakeholders (EPC, landowners, subcontractors, suppliers)
Oversee logistics for materials supplied directly by the company
Proactively identify project risks and implement mitigation strategies
Prepare and issue regular project reports to senior management and boards
Your Background
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or related Engineering discipline

Strong understanding of construction-phase project management
Electrical certification or licensing strongly preferred (PV, BESS, HV substations)
In-depth knowledge of German electrical codes, permitting, and grid connection processes
Proven ability to manage EPC contractors and multiple stakeholders
Strong leadership, communication, and decision-making skills
Highly organised, detail-oriented, and delivery-focused
