Senior Project Manager - BESS

About the Company

A well-capitalised international investor, developer and long-term owner of renewable energy and battery storage, active across Europe and Asia Pacific. Its German storage pipeline runs into multiple gigawatt hours, and it is building a strong technical team in Hamburg to deliver that pipeline in-house rather than hand it off.

• A highly competitive senior package, benchmarked for experienced battery storage project leaders in Germany
• A Hamburg base with regular site travel, and a working pattern discussed openly from the first conversation
• A collaborative team spanning engineering, legal, finance and development, with experienced leadership close at hand
• Real impact: you will be the person who gets large batteries built and connected
• Room to grow, with more large projects coming through and further team hires already planned

Key Responsibilities

• Lead delivery of a utility-scale battery project from building permit through construction, commissioning and grid connection
• Build and own a single integrated programme covering the EPC contractor, battery supplier, grid operator, utilities and commissioning
• Spot slippage early and drive practical recovery plans with every party involved
• Manage contractor and supplier obligations, including variations, claims and extensions of time
• Stay visible on site through regular visits, progress meetings and inspections
• Bring delivery insight into acquisitions and due diligence, flagging construction, schedule and interface risk before investment decisions are made
• Plan resources and allocate work with the management team across the project lifecycle
• Work hand in hand with engineering, legal, finance and development colleagues

Essential Skills Required

• Several years leading large-scale renewable or grid infrastructure projects through construction, ideally battery storage
• Strong command of EPC contracts, change control and claims
• Confidence managing external contractors, suppliers, grid operators and authorities
• Fluent German and English, written and spoken
• A degree in engineering, industrial engineering or a comparable technical field
