I’m currently working with a well backed, fast growing energy storage developer that’s expanding its footprint across Germany and wider Europe. They’re looking to hire a Senior Project Manager (Construction) to take ownership of a flagship BESS project in Germany, with longer term exposure to European projects as the portfolio scales.
This is a senior, end to end delivery role sitting on the owner/developer side, ideal for someone who enjoys autonomy, responsibility, and complex infrastructure projects at scale.
