Project Manager, Bulgaria

Are you looking for the next step in your career where you can utilize your experience in wind- and PV energy projects and play a key role in our team in Bulgaria? Are you driven by collaboration and stakeholder management? Then we might be your new team.

European Energy is a Danish-founded green company in exponential growth. 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 be part of our Project Development department which handles the development of our renewable energy projects globally.

In the Bulgarian team, we are currently three colleagues and we handle the development of solar- and wind projects across Bulgaria. We collaborate closely with our colleagues in the Headquarters in Denmark and share learnings across countries.

You will join our team in Varna, and will also collaborate with colleagues in the region and HQ in Denmark on various project development aspects. Hence, you will get the opportunity to develop your competencies and go to Denmark to meet with colleagues.

Your new role
As our Project Manager, you will be responsible for the development of our solar and wind projects in Bulgaria.

You will lead the communication and negotiations with various external stakeholders such as municipalities, land owners, consultants, technical designers, and grid operators to ensure the momentum of our projects and obtain the required permits.

You will play a crucial role in our team to drive the projects to the next stage and to be at the forefront of the development of renewable energy in Bulgaria.

Areas of responsibility

• You will develop solar and wind projects in Bulgaria from early stage to construction
• You will handle stakeholder management of external partners such as landowners, authorities, and service providers
• You will ensure we have all the permits in place at the right time
• You will be responsible for the environmental impact assessment for our projects
• You will handle the development process, prepare, and submit project applications and documentation to relevant authorities

To thrive in this role we imagine you have the following competencies

• You have relevant experience in solar and wind project development in Bulgaria
• You have experience with permitting and environmental impact assessments
• You have strong stakeholder management skills
• You are fully proficient in Bulgarian and English, oral and written
• You are skilled in MS Office
• You may have experience/interest in working with GIS and project management tools and software
• You have a driving license

As a person you are a "do'er", you find solutions to challenges, and you understand the risks involved and how to mitigate them. You are organized and know your priorities, taking first things first.

You have solid interpersonal and communication skills to collaborate and negotiate with various stakeholders, both internal and external. You have an agile and entrepreneurial approach to your work, and you learn from your mistakes to improve your future endeavors. You should feel good in boots, but also in a corporate suit.

We offer

• You will be part of a Danish privately owned company with a truly international environment and a flat company hierarchy.
• You will be part of making the first steps in the renewable energy industry in Bulgaria and be at the forefront of the green agenda.
• We have an entrepreneurial and agile approach to our work. In daily life, it means there's not far from thought to action, and you will have trusted responsibilities no matter your seniority.
• You will be part of an exponential growth adventure - we have welcomed approx. 270 new colleagues in 2022 and about the same in 2023.
• Knowledge sharing is important for us. We start every Monday with our global weekly morning meeting. Here the executive management and departments give us an update on projects and current focus areas.
