You will focus on managing projects from late-stage development / Ready-to-Build (RtB) through Notice-to-Proceed (NTP), construction, commissioning, and Commercial Operation Date (COD). The portfolio consists primarily of large-scale ground-mounted agri-PV projects using single-axis trackers (SAT).
The company has an established platform and significant pipeline in Italy and is now strengthening its local project delivery capabilities. The role offers the opportunity to take substantial ownership across project execution and to grow into a future leadership position as the Italian delivery platform expands.
This is a highly hands-on role requiring regular interaction with contractors, authorities, consultants, landowners, grid-related stakeholders, and local partners. The successful candidate is expected to be operationally involved in projects and comfortable managing practical day-to-day challenges in dynamic execution environments.
