Transmission & Distribution (T&D) Partner (m / w / d) (Partner Level)

Overview

ERM, a global leader in sustainability consulting, is seeking a dynamic Germany-based Partner to grow our end-to-end service offering across the energy project lifecycle (from concept through financing, consenting, construction, O&M and decommissioning) in transmission and distribution.

ERM in Germany

Since established in 1989, ERM Germany has enjoyed steady growth and now employs over 150 people based across multiple locations. Our Capital Projects Delivery (CPD) team delivers technically challenging environmental and social impact studies (EIA’s and ESIA’s) for some of the largest infrastructure projects in Germany. This team has more than tripled in size over the past 15 years and works with a range of clients including domestic companies, large German and European banks, international lending organisations and corporate clients, supporting key decisions on project financing and green-field development investments.

Role profile

As a Partner at ERM, you will drive our strategic direction and commercial growth within Germany and the surrounding regions (DACH). Your focus will be primarily on transmission infrastructure. Ideally you will have an understanding of energy transition projects within the German market.

Leveraging your extensive client relationships with TSOs and major energy clients (primarily developers and investors) and your deep understanding of the low carbon energy transition, you will develop and expand trusted client relationships, generate new business, and lead multi-disciplinary teams to deliver high-impact sustainability-led solutions. These responsibilities reflect the dual commitments of driving growth and providing governance in project delivery.

To have full oversight of the life-cycle of our projects you will need to understand German planning laws, permitting regulations and environmental impact assessments.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive sales in our low carbon energy business.
• Build on existing client relationships with developers and investors in renewable energy generation, energy transmission (TSO) and distribution (DNO) and energy storage assets.
• Provide value-adding consulting advice and innovative, pragmatic solutions to support clients through feasibility, financing, consenting and post-consenting stages of capital projects. Focus on collaborating with clients to achieve their business objectives safely and efficiently.
• Network effectively with colleagues across the business to market ERM’s extensive range of low carbon energy solutions and related client journey value propositions.
• Stay ahead of industry trends and regulatory developments in Germany and the European energy transition landscape, sharing insights to deepen trusted relationships.
• Prepare and deliver winning proposals and compelling presentations and reports to senior stakeholders.
• Represent ERM at industry conferences, seminars, and events to enhance company visibility and reputation.

Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Environmental Science
• Extensive knowledge of the German energy market (renewables, storage and transmission), including technologies, regulatory frameworks, and market trends
• Proven success in consultancy with a strong track record of client relationship management and project delivery in the power sector
• Exceptional communication, negotiation, and presentation skills
• Strong leadership, analytical, and problem-solving capabilities
• Ability to work effectively within local, regional and global multidisciplinary teams
