• Engage with local authorities, landowners, and other stakeholders to move projects forward.
• Contribute to internal reporting, risk assessments, and project documentation.
• Support the continuous improvement of development workflows and tools.

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of experience in renewable energy project development (PV or BESS); more senior profiles (10–15+ years) are also welcome.
• Strong understanding of the German regulatory environment and permitting processes.
• Native or fluent German and good English skills.
• Based in or willing to relocate to the Düsseldorf area — 2–3 days/week in-office.
• Comfortable working in a lean, fast‑paced environment with evolving processes.
• Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel within Germany.
