Project Manager/ Team Leader Global Renewable Energy and Climate Protection Projects (m/f/d)

Permanent employee, Full-time · Barcelona area (Castelldefels)

To achieve the Paris climate protection goals, we need a global energy transition with exclusively renewable energies by 2050. We are currently looking for project analysts, project managers, and team leaders to develop innovative climate protection projects and drive forward the energy transition with a focus on north-south collaboration. All current vacancies can be found on our job page.

As a non-profit climate protection organization at the interface between business and NGOs, our main activities include CO₂ offsetting through our renewable energy projects in the global south, advising European companies, and creating specialized CO2 software.

We develop our own renewable energy projects, tailored concepts, and green energy solutions for large national and international corporate clients, creating value for both climate protection and our customers.
