Construction Manager - Wind

This is a well established onshore wind developer in Germany, backed by a London based institutional asset manager. The business develops, builds and operates onshore wind parks, and was an early mover in southern Germany, where it remains one of the few active players. It holds recognised industry accreditations for responsible wind energy and environmental management.

The team is young, interdisciplinary and refreshingly flat in structure, with genuine room for people to take ownership. The business has moved from developing projects to delivering them, with two projects currently in construction and a clear multi year pipeline behind them.

Why they are hiring

With two projects in construction and around 150MW across 22 turbines targeted for 2029 and 2030, the business is building out its delivery capability. This role exists to take ownership of construction on live projects, steering them through to completion rather than watching from the sidelines. It is a role for someone who wants to see turbines actually built.

What you will do

• Take full responsibility for the construction budget and schedule across onshore wind park projects
• Lead and steer all construction phases, from execution planning through to handover and sign off
• Manage and coordinate the internal project team alongside external contractors and service providers
• Negotiate contractor and manufacturing agreements, and decide on cost adjustments and resource planning
• Ensure delivery on time, on budget and to quality standards throughout
• Report regularly to project leadership on progress, risk and cost

What we are looking for

• A degree in civil engineering, industrial engineering or a comparable qualification
• Several years of construction management experience, ideally within onshore wind
• Strong project management skills, particularly budget planning and schedule control
• A track record of leading teams and coordinating external service providers
• Business fluent German and English
• High initiative, a strong sense of ownership and the confidence to hold contractors to account
• A background specifically in onshore wind construction
• Comfort combining a construction engineering foundation with hands on project management

What is on offer

• Team bonus
• Company car
• Company pension
• Up to 30 days holiday
• Home office based working with roughly two office days every two weeks
• Training and development, a regional travel ticket contribution, and workplace health management
