Technical Project Manager
About the Role
Technical Project Manager | Hamburg (Hybrid) | Permanent
Keep a growing German battery storage portfolio moving, and help build the team that delivers it.
Battery storage is one of the fastest-moving corners of the German energy transition, and this role puts you right in the middle of it. You will coordinate the technical delivery of a portfolio of grid-scale BESS projects, working side by side with the Technical Director as a new technical team takes shape. It is a newly created role, so expect real ownership from day one and a real say in how things work.
About the Company
Our client is an integrated renewable energy developer and long-term asset owner with a multi-gigawatt solar and storage pipeline across several international markets. Its German business pairs the backing of an international group with a small, welcoming team where English and German sit comfortably side by side.
