About this role

My client is a leading European battery storage developer, already making a tangible impact on the energy transition. With operational BESS projects successfully up and running, they have proven their ability to deliver complex projects to market. Another project is set to come online shortly, adding to their track record and further strengthening their position in the sector. Behind this lies an ambitious development pipeline of more than 4,000 MW across Europe, reflecting both the scale of their vision and the pace of their growth. This combination of proven success and future opportunity makes them one of the most exciting players in the energy storage market today.

Now, they’re entering Germany – and this is where you come in.

Your mission

As Senior Project Developer, you’ll take full ownership of Germany’s first projects, driving them independently from early-stage development through to delivery. You’ll be the one building strong relationships with TSOs, landowners, and key stakeholders, while overseeing the entire permitting, planning, financing, and construction process. Beyond individual projects, this role offers the chance to shape the German office itself, setting the foundations for future growth and positioning yourself to step into a senior leadership role as the team expands.

What you bring

  • Solid experience in high-voltage or large-scale construction/energy projects
  • Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence and build trust
  • An entrepreneurial, ambitious, and hands-on mindset
  • The drive to thrive in a fast-paced, growth-focused environment
  • Fluency in both German and English (mandatory)

Why this role?

This is more than just another development role — it’s an opportunity to take the lead in a new market for a company that has already proven its success elsewhere. You’ll be joining at the very start of their German journey, with the autonomy to shape projects, the office, and your own career path. If you’re ready to make your mark in one of Europe’s fastest-growing energy sectors, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
