Job Title: Senior Project Manager (Project Execution)

Location: Hamburg Region (within a few hours, up to Berlin)

Work model: Hybrid (typically 1–2 days in office)

The Role

A growing renewable energy developer is seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead utility-scale solar PV projects from permitting through to COD, and potentially through to project sale/divestment depending on the company’s strategy.

You will take ownership of projects across the development and delivery lifecycle, working closely with internal teams and external partners to ensure successful project execution.

As the pipeline grows, there is potential for this role to evolve into a leadership position, with the opportunity to build out a small project team in the future.

• Backed by a major private equity investor in renewable infrastructure
• Long-term investment horizon (5–7 years) with strong capital backing

• Stable growth environment — the business is well capitalised and expanding, not in survival mode

Key Responsibilities

• Manage utility-scale solar PV projects from permitting through construction to Commercial Operation Date (COD)
• Coordinate with engineering, permitting, grid, and external stakeholders
• Lead internal project meetings and ensure timelines and milestones are achieved
• Monitor risks, budgets, and schedules across the project lifecycle

Key Requirements

• 3–4+ years’ experience in project management within large-scale renewable energy projects
• Fluent German (required for meetings and internal communication)
• Technical background (electrical or civil engineering) beneficial but not essential
• 20-person team distributed across Northern Germany
• Hybrid structure with 1–2 office days per week
• Travel expenses covered
• Company car or car allowance depending on location and travel needs
