Would you like a challenging career with a high degree of development and responsibilities in a green company with rapid growth? Does it motivate you to be on the frontline of the renewable energy business? Would you like to build utility-scale solar PV projects? Then come and join us!

European Energy is a green energy company experiencing exponential growth. We develop, construct, and operate wind and solar PV projects globally and are at the forefront of the emerging green hydrogen/Power-to-X sectors. Our core values are the foundation of everything we do: In it together, Trust and Courage, Ambition, Excitement, Inclusion, and Agility.

Your New Team- At a Glance
You will be a part of European Energy UK Limited, consisting of 20 colleagues working principally from our office in Glasgow. You will also work closely with our HQ in Copenhagen, Denmark, specifically with the EPC Department.

We are a committed and motivated team where knowledge sharing, trust, and open dialogues describe the very core of our collaboration. Our project pipeline in the UK is in rapid growth, and you will be hands-on in many technical, organizational, and commercial aspects with the opportunity to develop professionally and take on more responsibility over time.

Your New Role- Accelerate your Career
As our new Renewable Energy Project Manager you will deliver utility-scale solar (PV) projects in the UK. In due course, we also expect the delivery of energy storage, onshore wind, and Power-to-X projects to form part of the UK portfolio.

Working within the structure of the newly released European Energy Project Management Model (PMM) you will receive projects once they have passed each stage gate (received planning consent, grid/land agreements secured, strategy defined for offtake and financing). You will be responsible and accountable for projects during the structuring and construction phases, before handing over asset management.

You will see yourself in an environment with many interesting tasks. You have solid interpersonal skills to negotiate with local suppliers, and service providers, and communicate with stakeholders such as subcontractors, lenders, off-takers, etc.

• Construction, Sponsor, PPA, Off-taker, and SPV Reporting as required by the project agreements (progress, CAPEX, risks, HSE)
