Project Manager - Large-Scale Energy Infrastructure (PV & BESS)
Germany | Full-time | Permanent
We're supporting the growth of a well-established renewable energy business delivering utility-scale solar and battery storage projects across Germany and selected international markets. They are now looking to appoint a Project Manager to take ownership of complex energy infrastructure projects from late-stage development through to construction, commissioning, and handover.
This is a delivery-focused role sitting at the heart of multi-MW PV and BESS projects, where strong construction/project management experience is more important than deep energy sector background - the technical energy knowledge can be taught.
The role
You'll be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of large-scale energy and infrastructure projects, working closely with internal engineering teams, external contractors, EPC partners, planners, and suppliers.
Core responsibilities include:
- Leading full project lifecycle delivery from planning through to commissioning and handover
- Developing and maintaining detailed project schedules, budgets, and resource plans
- Coordinating multiple stakeholders across construction, engineering, and grid interfaces
- Managing time, cost, quality, and safety performance across all project phases
- Identifying and mitigating project risks and ensuring delivery certainty
- Acting as the central point of contact for all project-related communication
- Ensuring compliance with technical specifications, regulatory requirements, and quality standards
- Supporting site activities including construction oversight and progress tracking
What we're looking for
- Degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Industrial Engineering, or similar
- Proven experience delivering large-scale construction or infrastructure projects (energy, utilities, plant, civil works, or similar environments)
- Strong project management capability with excellent organisational skills
- Experience coordinating multiple contractors and technical stakeholders
- Confident handling of budgets, schedules, and reporting structures
- Proficient in MS Office; familiarity with project planning tools is beneficial
- Willingness to travel within Germany (approx. 20-50%)
- Strong German language skills required; English advantageous
What's on offer
- Full ownership of high-value renewable energy projects (10MW+ scale)
- Clear progression within a growing project delivery environment
- Exposure to both solar PV and battery energy storage portfolios
- Modern, flexible working environment with strong team culture
- Competitive salary and benefits package
- Opportunity to shape delivery processes as the business scales

The company is a long-standing renewable energy developer and EPC operator with around 25 years in the market, active across PV, battery storage, and integrated energy solutions. Alongside its established solar portfolio, it is rapidly scaling its large-scale storage and hybrid project pipeline across Germany and international markets.
