Lead Project Engineering Manager (m/w/d)

Join a global leader in energy transmission and help shape the future of power. We are looking for a Lead Project Engineering Manager to support the engineering execution of large‑scale EPC projects from our Berlin office. You will oversee a diverse, international team and drive the successful delivery of engineering scopes on high‑impact energy infrastructure HVDC substation 1‑2B$+ projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end‑to‑end delivery of engineering activities of the PDG scope of works on large EPC projects, ensuring alignment with schedule, budget, and technical requirements.
• Lead and coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams, ensuring that deliverables are integrated, consistent, and aligned with project milestones.
• Act as the technical lead within the project, driving decision‑making and managing interfaces between engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and customers.
• Establish and maintain effective communication with customers, partners, and suppliers on technical topics, ensuring transparency, responsiveness, and trust.
• Anticipate and manage risks by maintaining an up‑to‑date risk register, driving mitigation plans, and enforcing a structured change management process.
• Ensure high standards of quality and compliance, applying internal processes, safety (EHS) requirements, and industry best practices throughout the project lifecycle.
• Represent engineering in project governance, providing clear reporting on progress, issues, and KPIs, and contributing to key project reviews and decisions.
• Support site teams during execution, ensuring a smooth transition from design to construction and commissioning, and resolving technical issues efficiently.
• Mentor and empower project engineers, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement across the engineering organization.
• Carry our regular and thorough reviews of the progress and delivery of the PDG scope of work assessing all aspects of the project, including time, cost, quality, and risks.

Qualifications

• Engineering degree in Electrical, Power Systems, or a related field (Electronics, Mechanical).
• 10+ years of experience as a Project Engineering Manager or similar role in EPC environments: Energy, Transmission, Distribution, Oil & Gas, Power Generation, or similar industries.
• A minimum of 2 completed projects, managing medium to large size projects.
• Strong project management skills and solid experience coordinating multidisciplinary teams and multiple stakeholders, ideally across international and multicultural environments.
• Strong understanding of engineering project lifecycles, risk management, technical interfaces, and configuration/change control.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills: able to influence, align teams, and represent engineering with confidence in internal and customer meetings.
• Fluent in English; German is advantageous.
• Comfortable with occasional travel (Europe and internationally) for project needs.

HVDC experience is a strong asset, but not a prerequisite. We welcome candidates with relevant experience in similar large‑scale infrastructure or industrial EPC projects who are eager to learn and contribute to the energy transition.
