Your Impact

As Senior Project Manager for Construction Projects, you will take end-to-end leadership over the construction and execution of stand-alone BESS projects across Germany.

• Act as the company’s senior representative towards EPC contractors, subcontractors, grid operators, technical authorities, and local stakeholders.

• Oversee and validate design implementation, civil works, MV/HV electrical installation, power electronics integration, and commissioning activities.

• Lead the resolution of critical issues on site, ensuring continuity of execution and meeting regulatory and permitting requirements.

• Collaborate with finance, legal, procurement, and commissioning teams to ensure accurate cost control, contract compliance, and seamless project handover.

• Produce high-value reporting and decision-support documentation for senior management.

• Based in Hamburg or Munich with weekly site visits.

What You Bring

• Proven leadership delivering complex infrastructure or energy projects at scale, with strong authority in construction oversight and contractor management.

• 15+ years of relevant experience, including 7+ years as Project Manager for construction projects in the (renewable) energy, industrial, or grid infrastructure sector.

• Experience in BESS, high-voltage grid connections, substations, power systems, or EPC frameworks is highly preferable

• BSc or MSc in Engineering (Electrical, Industrial, Mechanical, Energy, or related discipline)

• Solid expertise in contract management (FIDIC, EPC, or comparable frameworks) and in managing claims, change orders, and performance guarantees

• Strong technical competence, combined with excellent communication, negotiation, and leadership skills
