Leitender Bauprojektmanager (BESS)

Recruiting EPC professionals for renewable energy projects across the DACH region ☀

Senior Construction Project Manager – Solar PV & BESS (Germany)

Location: Berlin

Industry: Renewable Energy | Solar PV | Battery Energy Storage

The Opportunity

We are supporting a well‑capitalised renewable energy IPP that is scaling its German delivery platform. With projects already financed and moving into construction, they are now hiring a Senior Project Manager to take full ownership of utility‑scale Solar PV and BESS projects.

This is a key hire within a lean, international EPC team and offers genuine autonomy, visibility, and responsibility. You will be trusted to lead projects end‑to‑end and help shape how construction is delivered in Germany.

Your Role

As Senior Project Manager, you will manage assigned PV and BESS projects across their full lifecycle, from site establishment through to final completion, ensuring delivery on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards.

You will act as the central interface between EPC contractors, internal stakeholders, utilities, and regulators, while proactively identifying and mitigating project risks.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the construction of PV and BESS plants from site setup through commissioning and handover.
• Act as the primary interface between the EPC Contractor and Project Sponsor.
• Monitor and control construction progress, quality, schedule, and costs.
• Coordinate and manage engineering changes and revisions.
• Full budget ownership, cost control, and cash flow management.
• Direct interaction with utilities and authorities to secure grid connection, permitting, and regulatory compliance.
• Supervise compliance with approved designs, technical standards, and quality requirements.
• Manage all local stakeholders (EPC, landowners, subcontractors, suppliers).
• Oversee logistics for materials supplied directly by the company.
• Proactively identify project risks and implement mitigation strategies.
• Prepare and issue regular project reports to senior management and boards.

Your Background

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or related Engineering discipline.
• 3‑5+ years’ experience managing renewable energy projects (solar PV and/or BESS).
• Strong understanding of construction‑phase project management.
• Electrical certification or licensing strongly preferred (PV, BESS, HV substations).
• In‑depth knowledge of German electrical codes, permitting, and grid connection processes.
• Proven ability to manage EPC contractors and multiple stakeholders.
• Strong leadership, communication, and decision‑making skills.
• Highly organised, detail‑oriented, and delivery‑focused.

Why This Role

• Funded, live projects — not speculative pipeline.
• Exposure to both Solar PV and BESS, including grid connection responsibility.
• High level of trust and autonomy within a lean EPC organisation.
• Opportunity to help build and shape the German construction platform.
• Direct access to senior European leadership and decision‑makers.
• Competitive salary and long‑term growth potential within a scaling IPP.
