Job Description:

Role: Head of Project Execution – Italy

Location: Italy (Remote)

The Company:

This is an opportunity to join a highly active European developer and Independent Power Producer (IPP) delivering Italy’s energy transition.

With over 1.5GW of pipeline under development and construction across Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage (BESS), the company is entering a rapid scale-up phase with long-term grid capacity secured.

Backed by long-term capital and a strong local permitting team, this business develops, owns, and operates utility-scale assets across the full lifecycle. The focus is now on execution—and they are seeking a proven delivery leader to take control of national project delivery.

The Role:

As Head of Project Execution, you will take full responsibility for the on-time, on-budget delivery of Solar PV and BESS projects from Notice to Proceed through to commissioning and handover.

You will lead a growing internal team of construction managers and interface with EPCs, grid operators, and technical advisors across a portfolio of multi-site utility-scale projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead project execution across all Italian utility-scale Solar PV and BESS sites
• Manage EPC performance, construction timelines, budgets, and quality standards
• Coordinate internal engineering, procurement, and construction teams
• Oversee contractor onboarding, contract negotiation, and execution (EPC & BoP)
• Ensure compliance with national HSE regulations and project-specific grid requirements
• Report directly to senior leadership

Requirements:

• 10+ years in renewable energy construction/project execution (Solar PV essential, BESS a strong plus)
• Proven experience delivering large-scale projects in Italy (20MW+)
• Fluent in Italian and English, with strong communication and leadership skills
• Experienced in managing EPC contracts, timelines, and multi-stakeholder projects
• Strong knowledge of Italian permitting, grid connection, and construction regulation

Why Apply?

• Be the execution lead for a 1.5GW+ national portfolio
• Join a fast-growing IPP with long-term capital and grid-ready projects
• Lead a national function with clear progression to Director level
• Work in a supportive, agile business with ambitious growth targets
