Senior Project Leader Photovoltaic Commercial and Large-Scale Projects (m/w/d)

The Apricus Solar AG is a growing company in the field of photovoltaics and renewable energies with its headquarters in Dortmund. We realize commercial photovoltaic projects and large-scale installations from 1 MWp and are further developing our internal project organization.

We are looking for an operationally strong project leader with an electrical engineering background, who leads their own projects independently and coordinates the work of two other project leaders.

This role is not just a leadership position at a desk. You lead your own projects, make decisions, structure workflows, and ensure that projects are implemented cleanly, economically, and on schedule.

Your task: You take over the complete operational responsibility for your own photovoltaic projects in the commercial and large-scale installation sector from 1 MWp.

In addition, you lead a small project leadership team consisting of two other project leaders, both technically and with light disciplinary responsibility. You ensure clear priorities, clean project status, uniform standards, and reliable implementation.

Tasks

• Self-led direction of photovoltaic projects from 1 MWp from preparation to commissioning
• Complete operational project responsibility for your own projects
• Steering of deadlines, costs, quality, project progress, and open points
• Coordination of internal and external project participants
• Synchronization with customers, network operators, service providers, planners, suppliers, and assembly partners
• Technical and organizational steering of the project development
• Self-led clarification of technical, financial, and organizational issues during the project course
• Setup and maintenance of clean project structures, project plans, and status overviews
• Risk recognition, escalation management, and introduction of concrete countermeasures
• Fachliche Führung und Koordination von zwei weiteren Projektleitern
• Leichte disziplinarische Führungsverantwortung im kleinen Projektleiterteam
• Sicherstellung einheitlicher Arbeitsweisen, Standards und Übergaben im Projektmanagement
• Regelmäßige Abstimmung mit Geschäftsführung, Vertrieb, Technik und Umsetzungspartnern
• Weiterentwicklung unserer Projektprozesse im Bereich Gewerbe und Großanlagen

Qualification

• Experience in project leadership or construction management of technical projects
• Electrical engineering background, for example from electrical engineering, renewable energies, TGA, or comparable technical fields
• Experience with photovoltaic projects, ideally in the commercial or large-scale installation sector
• Understanding of construction workflows, electrical installation, assembly, network connection, and project development
• Able to lead projects independently from start to finish
• Experience in coordinating customers, service providers, planners, suppliers, and internal teams
• Able to prioritize multiple parallel topics cleanly and consistently follow up on them
• Structured, self-responsible, and solution-oriented working style
• Clear communication and assertiveness
• Leadership potential and joy in making other project leaders better
• Safe handling of digital tools, project lists, Excel, and project management systems
• Very good German language skills in writing and speaking
• Driver's license class B
• Relevant backgrounds: Project Leader Photovoltaic, Construction Manager Electrical Engineering, Project Leader TGA, Electrical Engineer, Master Electrical Engineer, Technical Project Leader in the field of renewable energies or similar
• A study is advantageous but not necessarily required. What matters more are operational strength, electrical engineering background, construction management experience, and genuine project responsibility

Benefits

• Responsible role in a growing company
• Your own project responsibility for large photovoltaic projects from 1 MWp
• Fachliche Führung eines kleinen Projektleiterteams
• Development opportunity towards leadership of project management
• Short decision-making paths and direct communication
• Gestaltungsspielraum beim Aufbau professioneller Projektstrukturen
• Modern working environment in Dortmund
• Attractive remuneration matching experience and responsibility
• Collegial team with high implementation speed
• Participation in concrete projects in the field of renewable energies

If you can technically coordinate projects, but really lead them operationally, and want to take the next step towards leadership, we look forward to your application.
