Our core values are the foundation of everything we do: In it together, Trust and courage, Ambition, Excitement, Inclusion, and Agility.

The Team

You will be part of a smaller team in our office in Athens, Greece, and larger team in our headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark. Together we are focusing on developing our pipeline of onshore projects, currently consisting of wind and solar projects with planned construction.

As our new Project Manager your focus will be on developing and handling our wind- and solar (PV) projects in Greece to bring the current projects to ready-to-build status as well as supporting on building up the pipeline of new projects in Greece.

Areas of responsibility

• You will develop wind- and solar (PV) projects in Greece from early stage to construction preparation
• You will, in dialogue with the authorities, ensure we have all the permits in place at the right time and ensure regulatory compliance
• You will handle stakeholder management on several levels. Internally you will coordinate between Project Development and EPC departments, and externally you will cultivate relationships with external partners, land owners, and service providers.

• You have a driving license

As a person, you are a team player, curious, and humble, and you take responsibility from A-Z on your projects. You are a generalist who enjoys being hands-on with a variety of tasks within both technical and commercial areas. You find solutions to challenges, and you understand the risks involved and how to mitigate them. You are organized and know your priorities, taking first things first.

We offer

• You will be part of a Danish privately owned company with a truly international environment and a flat company hierarchy.
• We work closely together across the countries and you will be part of a cross-border collaboration with especially the HQ in Denmark.
