We offer

• A unique opportunity to be part of leading a successful renewable "scale-up" company at an exciting time of its development, with a central role in developing its strategy, governance and operating model going forward.
• An international business with high ambitions, a solid pipeline, and the necessary support and financial back-up to succeed.
• A unique work culture focusing on people and the team, placing diversity at the core of solving complex challenges, living our values of care, courage, and collaboration every day.

Responsibilities
The Project function provides technical expertise, project execution and operations services to all of Hydro Rein's business units. Its teams of technical, sustainability, HSE, procurement, project delivery and operations experts are involved from the development stage to managing project delivery and operations.

Your main responsibilities will be, either directly (in projects led by Rein) or through due diligence, quality assurance and active monitoring of partners (in projects led by others), to:

• Provide EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) services for projects:
  • Engineering, resource assessment and optimization, quality management and technical support in operations
  • Procurement, contracts negotiation, supplier management, market intelligence on key equipment and services

Who are you?
You know what it takes to be a center of excellence in projects and operations, placing safety, sustainability, project excellence, continuous improvement at the heart of the way you work.

You are business savvy, and you really understand what it takes to build a portfolio of successful projects (risks, business case, capitalization/farm down).

You are also a strategic thinker, with ability to develop comprehensive project strategies aligned with Rein's objectives.

You set ambitious goals, monitor progress, commit to delivering projects on time, within budget, and to the highest standards - through a collaborative approach to project management, fostering a culture of teamwork and cooperation.

A true leader, you work through your people and empower them by providing autonomy and creating ownership, leading as a coach by providing clarity on goals and expectations.

You have great communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to convey complex ideas, project updates and required decisions in a clear and concise manner.

You are driven by values, you have a passion for building teams and organizations, and uncompromising integrity and commitment to our vision to decarbonize industries.

Qualifications

• Minimum 15 years' experience in project management in a relevant industry, preferably wind, solar, energy, infrastructure or other capex intensive industries.
• Expertise in project management methodologies, and comprehensive knowledge of HSE and sustainability requirements. Understanding how you can leverage a digital ecosystem in construction and operations is a must.
• Prior leadership experience and a proven track record of leading through leaders. If you have done so for a renewable company operating in Europe or Brazil, it's a plus.
