Heading an international Asset Management team in the renewables industry

Are you looking for the next step in your career to drive strategic change and be the role model of the development of the department? Does it motivate you to head up a team that works directly with renewable energy assets, and thereby accelerating the green transition?

European energy is a green energy company in exponential growth. We develop, construct, and operate projects within solar- (PV) and wind farms globally, as well as Power-to-X. Our core values are the foundation of everything we do: In it together, Trust and courage, Ambition, Excitement, Inclusion, and Agility.

The department

The greater Asset Management department consists of 92 colleagues in total, based in Denmark, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, and Brazil. The department consists of Technical Asset Management, Commercial Asset Management, Operations & Maintenance (O&M), and Energy Trading & PPA.

We are responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of power-producing assets of wind and solar PV, offering asset management services for both internal and external assets, and providing energy trading services.

“European energy operates 2,6 GW of green energy and in our function, we are responsible for maximizing the output of that for our Clients. We constantly need to strike a balance between today’s production and future requirements. This calls for a dynamic and collaborative environment where people are the main ingredient!” says Jacob Gotfred Johansen, Head of Asset Management, Operations & Energy Trade

Your new team

You will head up our Technical Asset Management (TAM) team responsible for Germany, Lithuania, and Poland. You will have four people managers directly reporting to you and 20 colleagues in the team.

The TAM team plays a key role in the technical operation and optimization of our solar and wind parks. We work closely with the Commercial Asset Management team, O&M, EPC, Project Development, and Innovation to achieve our main goal of optimizing operational assets with a special focus on performance optimization and cost minimalization. The department is currently undergoing a significant change in which you will play a key role.
