Grid Connections Manager

My client is a European energy business who are expanding aggressively in Germany through utility-scale solar, battery storage, energy trading, and industrial decarbonisation solutions. They are looking for a Grid Connections Manager to take ownership of grid feasibility and connection strategy from the earliest development stages.

This is a high-impact role for someone who understands how German grid operators work in practice - portals, processes, timelines, technical condition. They are also seeking someone who can translate that into clear project decisions on risk, schedule, and cost.

Responsibilities:

• Check grid connection options and capacity availability with German grid operators during early-stage PV development.
• Evaluate network-related risk, timeline and cost implications to support site selection and project prioritisation.
• Coordinate and optimise connection approaches with grid operators and external service providers.
• Advise internal stakeholders on requirements and feedback received from grid operators, ensuring the team responds correctly and efficiently.
• Secure grid reservations and technical conditions, tracking deadlines and ensuring key milestones are met throughout development.
• Act as the central point of contact for grid-connection topics across development, engineering, and external consultants.
