If you possess the expertise and ambition to help decarbonize Europe and shape the future of sustainable energy, we invite you to apply for this exciting position.

As the Project Commercial Manager, you will be responsible for developing the end-to-end commercial strategy for both enterprise and non-enterprise onshore projects. In collaboration with stakeholders and suppliers, including external enterprise partners, you will implement this strategy and establish productive relationships with key OEMs and other suppliers. Your role will involve regularly monitoring their changing landscape to ensure the best contract frameworks are implemented, balancing risks and opportunities.

Your scope of influence will extend to actively seeking and pursuing commercial and innovative opportunities. Additionally, you will be responsible for developing the business case for all projects and overseeing the project commercial 'health check' to identify and mitigate commercial and contractual risks.

You will also work closely with project directors and senior project managers, serving as a trusted business partner on commercial strategy, compliance, and assurance.

To excel in this role, the ideal candidate should possess the gravitas and independence to operate effectively both internally and externally. We are seeking an entrepreneurial professional who can drive commercial value, leveraging best practises from the energy sector and other industries. Adaptable and open-minded, you should be eager to explore new ideas and approaches. While an understanding of the regulatory environment that our client operates in is desirable, a strong grasp of procurement, commercial value, contractual processes, project management, and risk analysis is crucial.

Key Qualifications:
