Jobbeschreibung

Overview

Head of Technical (Solar PV)
Location: Mannheim

A well-established solar company with over a decade of market presence is seeking a skilled Project Manager to join its team in the Mannheim area. With around 50 employees and several hundred projects delivered each year, the company covers the full value chain: from sales and planning through to construction, commissioning, and project wrap-up – largely with its own in-house teams.

Since 2022, the company has been part of a large energy group, a utility headquartered in Germany. As a wholly owned subsidiary, it plays a central role in their long-term strategy. This backing provides exceptional stability in an otherwise challenging solar market and ensures the business is positioned for sustainable growth.

The Role

The Head of Technical will oversee two dedicated technical teams. Both teams report into the Head of Technical, alongside project managers. In total, this role leads a department of around 25–30 employees. The position is primarily people and process management, but requires the ability to step in with technical expertise when necessary, particularly for larger or more complex projects.

Key responsibilities

• Full leadership responsibility for the technical department (installation & electrical teams, plus project managers)
• Driving daily operations and ensuring smooth project delivery
• Developing and implementing efficient organizational and process structures
• Supporting technical problem-solving and providing hands-on expertise when needed
• Ensuring compliance with VDE regulations and quality standards
• Acting as a bridge between technical execution and company leadership

Profile

• Strong leadership and people management experience, ideally in PV or related technical fields
• Solid technical understanding of PV systems, including VDE codes
• Track record of working on both residential and larger commercial/industrial projects
• Structured, hands-on leader able to balance daily operations with strategic development

Offer

• Attractive salary package in the range of €90,000–€110,000
• Company bonus
• Company car for private use
• A pivotal leadership role in a stable, utility-backed solar company with long-term growth prospects
