Senior Project Manager

Role overview

A renewable energy company is seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead utility-scale Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects across Northern and Western Germany. The role is based in Dortmund or Hamburg and follows a hybrid arrangement with 1–2 days in the office each week.

What you will do

You will own large-scale renewable energy projects from execution through final completion, making sure they are delivered on schedule, within budget, and aligned with high technical standards. The projects are mainly spread across Lower Saxony, Saarland, and Schleswig-Holstein, so frequent travel to sites is part of the job.

Experience and background

The ideal candidate brings 4–5 years of experience managing utility-scale PV and/or BESS projects, along with a strong history of delivering major infrastructure or energy assignments. An engineering background is preferred, with Electrical or Civil Engineering seen as an advantage. Experience with EPC contractors, grid connection activities, and project commissioning is also highly valued.

Location and working pattern

This position is intended for someone based in Dortmund or Hamburg. The arrangement requires 1–2 days per week in the office, plus regular travel to project sites across Germany.

Compensation and support

The package includes a salary of €90,000 to €100,000 per year, along with benefits. A company car is provided because of the travel requirements, and accommodation support is available when extended stays on site are needed.

Why this role stands out

This is a chance to join a fast-growing renewable energy platform at a period of major expansion and contribute to projects that directly support Germany’s energy transition.
