Job Description

Are you looking to join an international company in the renewable energy industry where you can make a difference every day? This is your chance to make an impact on the renewable energy landscape in Lithuania (Baltics) through developing and coordinating our wind- and solar (PV) projects in this market.

European Energy is a growing company within renewable energy. 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.

Your new team

You will join our engaged and dedicated Project Development team in Lithuania, based in our Vilnius office with more than 20 specialists working on projects across the Baltics. This team is part of a larger Baltic organization of more than 30 colleagues, all focused on developing renewable energy projects in the region.

You will collaborate closely with colleagues in Lithuania, across the Baltics, and with our headquarters in Copenhagen, as well as team members from other markets.

Your new role

The renewable energy market in the Baltics is entering a new phase, with projects becoming increasingly large and complex, both commercially and technically. To ensure successful project execution according to the highest standards, this requires strong project management, a sophisticated understanding of the project viability criteria and meticulous risk and stakeholder management.

As our new (Senior) Project Manager, you will play a critical role in navigating this complexity. You will be responsible for developing and managing large-scale wind, battery energy storage (BESS) and solar (PV) projects at various stages of maturity in Lithuania and across the Baltics. This includes ensuring timely progression through development, structuring, and construction phases, managing internal and external stakeholders, and bringing projects to the required maturity stage.

The role demands significant focus on strategic planning, commercial justification of projects, market and opportunity analysis, and conceptual project structuring. You will also supervise development and structuring processes across Baltic countries, contributing to building a strong and sustainable pipeline.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (engineering, legal, finance) to optimize project outcomes.
• Contribute to strategic planning for pipeline growth in Lithuania and the Baltics.
• Perform market and opportunity analysis to identify new development prospects.
• Ensure commercial justification of projects and alignment with business objectives.
• Stay informed on renewable energy legislation and market trends.
