Commercial & Procurement Manager - BoP/EPC - Germany

Our client is looking for a Commercial & Procurement Manager to execute the Balance of Plant (BoP) and 380 kV Extra-High Voltage (EHV) grid procurement strategy across a growing standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) pipeline in Germany. You will be a hands-on commercial professional who bridges complex technical parameters with strong negotiation skills. This role is suited for an ambitious engineer and commercial negotiator who is ready to structure tenders, manage VOB/B and FIDIC contracts, and secure contractor capacity across German transmission system operators (TSOs).

Key Responsibilities

• Own and execute end-to-end procurement across German BoP packages and long-lead equipment (380kV/110kV transformers), from drafting RFQs and structuring tender packs to driving direct price negotiations.
• Partner with technical teams to optimize BoP cost structures, reverse-engineer contractor quotes, and drive CapEx efficiencies while maintaining project bankability.
• Actively map the German EHV construction market, maintaining real-time data on contractor availability, skilled labour inflation, and TSO lead times.
• Lead commercial negotiations directly under VOB/B and FIDIC contract standards without relying on external legal support for standard commercial schedules.
• Establish clear Employer's Requirements and battery-to-substation boundaries to proactively eliminate VOB/B obstruction notices and interface claims between BESS OEMs and BoP contractors.
• Implement robust origin-tracking mechanisms to ensure pipeline sourcing meets German LDES local content rules.
• Secure capacity-reservation agreements and build direct partnerships with specialized German EHV and civil contractors.

About You

• Master’s degree (MSc / Dipl.-Ing.) in Engineering (Electrical, Power, Civil, or related) is required.
• An MBA or equivalent commercial post-graduate qualification is strongly preferred.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in Renewable Energy procurement, commercial management, or power infrastructure construction within Germany / DACH region.
• Solid understanding of German construction law (VOB/B), TSO connection processes, and regional BoP execution dynamics.
• Fluent in German and English (written and spoken).
