About the Role
As Senior Project Manager – Energy Storage Projects, you will play a key role in building WLF Energy's growing behind-the-meter battery storage business.
You will take ownership of customer projects across their full lifecycle – from analysing customer sites and developing technically and commercially viable solutions through contracting, project execution and commissioning.
You will work directly with industrial and commercial customers and coordinate technical, commercial and legal workstreams across each project. This includes working with internal teams as well as EPC and O&M contractors, equipment suppliers, grid operators, permitting authorities and other external partners.
The role combines end-to-end project delivery, customer management and commercial project responsibility. As the BTM business grows, you will also have the opportunity to help build and lead a small project team.
This role is based in Germany and follows a hybrid working model, combining remote work, office presence in Frankfurt and regular travel to customer sites. The position does not require you to live in Frankfurt.
What You'll Do
- Drive BTM storage projects end-to-end – from the initial customer and site assessment through development, construction and commissioning
- Assess customer sites and energy infrastructure, including energy demand, load profiles, existing infrastructure and the technical and commercial feasibility of battery storage solutions
- Coordinate grid connection, technical integration and permitting, working closely with customers, grid operators, authorities and external partners
- Lead customer and contract management, including the development and negotiation of customer-specific commercial models and coordination of EPC, O&M and supply contracts
- Manage project delivery across technical, commercial and legal workstreams, ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time and within budget
- Oversee construction and commissioning activities, including the installation and integration of battery storage systems and successful handover into operation
- Coordinate key stakeholders across customers, internal teams, EPC contractors, suppliers, grid operators and authorities
- Manage schedules, budgets and risks throughout the project lifecycle and take ownership of solving issues as they arise
- Contribute to the growth of our BTM business and, over time, help build and develop a small project team
