BESS Project Manager

We’re supporting a well-capitalized, international energy platform that has rapidly established a strong presence in the US over the past few years. In that time, they’ve built a diversified portfolio of generation assets (1GW+), a retail energy platform with tens of thousands of customers, and committed significant capital ($200M+) toward near-term infrastructure investment.

They are now actively delivering utility-scale battery energy storage projects, with multiple assets already breaking ground and a growing pipeline into 2026 and beyond.

Backed by a large global parent operating across multiple countries, the business combines financial stability, long-term investment horizon, and a genuine growth trajectory in the US market.

This hire is a key Project Manager role, offering the opportunity to take ownership of critical projects and help shape delivery standards as the platform scales.

The Role

This position sits post-development through construction and into operations, acting as the key interface between internal teams and an external EPC partner.

• Support and manage commercial aspects of the project (contracts, change orders, risk)
• Act as the central point of coordination between development, EPC, and operations

Candidate Profile

• 4–5+ years of project management experience in energy infrastructure
• Strong preference for utility-scale / front-of-meter experience
• Experience with standalone BESS projects preferred (solar + storage also relevant)

Background in:

• Construction management (preferred), or
• Project engineering with strong delivery exposure
• Proven ability to manage full project lifecycle
• Experience working within or alongside: Developers / IPPs / EPC contractors
