Managing Director, Project Developer
Photovoltaics / Northern Germany, 2024
We fill all positions along the value chain: from project managers and senior project managers to heads of project development and project developers, as well as construction managers, EPC managers, commissioning managers, and program and portfolio managers for complex multi-project environments.
Energy project managers are not evaluated solely on the basis of their methodological project management skills. Just as important are knowledge of permitting laws (BImSchG, EEG, BauGB), stakeholder management with local governments and residents, and a technical understanding of the facilities.
Yes, grid expansion and the development of smart grid infrastructure are key aspects of the energy transition. We recruit project management professionals in these areas for transmission and distribution system operators as well as for service providers.
On average, it takes 6 to 12 weeks from the initial request to the signing of the contract. For highly specialized roles, such as those in the hydrogen or power-to-X sectors, the search may take a little longer depending on market conditions. We communicate realistic timelines from the very beginning.
The fee is based on the individual annual target salary for the position to be filled. We communicate this transparently and openly, with no hidden costs. During the initial consultation, you will receive a clear overview of our terms and conditions.
