The Regional Commercial & Procurement Lead (Germany) will be a core commercial driver executing Field’s Balance of Plant (BoP) and 380 kV Extra-High Voltage (EHV) grid procurement strategy across our growing German standalone BESS pipeline.

This is a role for an ambitious engineer and commercial negotiator who rolls up their sleeves to structure tenders, directly manage VOB/B and FIDIC contracts, and secure contractor capacity across German TSOs.

In Germany, we are expanding rapidly: Our first battery storage project of approximately 33 MWh is already live, with others to follow soon. Our goal is to establish a multi-GW pipeline of operational assets by 2030, strengthening the stability and flexibility of the German power grid.

Our team brings together experts with experience in billion-dollar tech startups, building energy companies, and deep expertise in energy markets. We are a dynamic, curious, and entrepreneurial team determined to make battery storage a core pillar of the energy transition—not at some distant point in the future, but right now. Our long-term ambition is to become a leading clean energy player in Germany and Europe in the coming years, expanding our portfolio beyond battery storage.

Main Responsibilities

German Sourcing & BoP Execution

• Hands‑on Procurement: Own and execute end‑to‑end procurement across German BoP packages and long‑lead equipment (380kV/110kV transformers), from drafting RFQs and structuring tender packs to driving direct price negotiations.
• Commercial Engineering & Estimation: Partner with technical teams to optimize BoP cost structures, reverse‑engineer contractor quotes, and drive CapEx efficiencies while maintaining project bankability.
• German Market Intelligence: Actively map the German EHV construction market, maintaining real‑time data on contractor availability, skilled labor inflation, and TSO lead times (TenneT, TransnetBW, Amprion, 50Hertz).

Contractual, VOB/B & Regulatory Leadership

• Direct Contract Negotiation: Lead commercial negotiations directly under VOB/B and FIDIC contract standards without relying on external legal support for standard commercial schedules.
• Interface & Claim Prevention: Establish clear Employer's Requirements and battery‑to‑substation boundaries to proactively eliminate VOB/B obstruction notices (Behinderungsanzeigen) and interface claims between BESS OEMs and BoP contractors.
• Local Content & LDES Compliance: Implement robust origin‑tracking mechanisms to ensure pipeline sourcing meets German LDES local content rules (50%+ EU/FTA origin).

Stakeholder Management & Growth

• Contractor Capacity: Secure capacity‑reservation agreements and build direct partnerships with specialized German EHV and civil contractors.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

Experience & Technical Knowledge

• Technical Foundation: Master’s degree (MSc / Dipl.-Ing.) in Engineering (Electrical, Power, Civil, or related) is required.
• Business Qualification: An MBA or equivalent commercial post‑graduate qualification is strongly preferred.
• Industry Experience: 5+ years of hands‑on experience in Renewable Energy procurement, commercial management, or power infrastructure construction within Germany / DACH region.
• German Legal & Market Knowledge: Solid understanding of German construction law (VOB/B), TSO connection processes, and regional BoP execution dynamics.
• Linguistic Capability: Fluent in German and English (written and spoken).
