If you possess the expertise and ambition to help decarbonize Europe and shape the future of sustainable energy, we invite you to apply for this exciting position.

As the Project Commercial Manager, you will be responsible for developing the end-to-end commercial strategy for both enterprise and non-enterprise onshore projects. In collaboration with stakeholders and suppliers, including external enterprise partners, you will implement this strategy and establish productive relationships with key OEMs and other suppliers.

To excel in this role, the ideal candidate should possess the gravitas and independence to operate effectively both internally and externally. We are seeking an entrepreneurial professional who can drive commercial value, leveraging best practises from the energy sector and other industries. Adaptable and open-minded, you should be eager to explore new ideas and approaches. While an understanding of the regulatory environment that our client operates in is desirable, a strong grasp of procurement, commercial value, contractual processes, project management, and risk analysis is crucial.
