Naxxar Energy Europe
Madrid
Naxxar Energy Europe is a pan-European renewable energy and battery storage platform headquartered in Frankfurt. We acquire local platforms and development-stage and ready-to-build projects, take them through construction, and own and operate them alongside long-term infrastructure investors. Our focus is standalone battery storage, solar PV and onshore wind in the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Germany, and France.
Our model is buy, build and operate. A lean central team sets group standards and takes the key decisions; country platforms deliver locally. We are building that central team now, from the ground up. This is a founding role, not a seat in an established organization. Business Division: Project Delivery Level: VP, member of the Project Delivery leadership team Reporting to: CBDO – Chief Business Development Officer Technologies: Standalone BESS, solar PV and onshore wind Location: Madrid based, preferably; frequent travel to sites, suppliers and Frankfurt HQ Purpose of the Role: As Head of EPC Management you turn ready-to-build projects into operating assets on budget, on schedule and safely. You set Naxxar's delivery standard – contracting strategy, procurement, construction, and owner's oversight – and apply it across countries and technologies. Projects are financed with non-recourse project debt and may involve long- term capital partners, so you deliver for lenders and investors as well as for Naxxar. Scope of Responsibility

Procurement of major equipment (BESS systems, modules, inverters, turbines, transformers, balance of plant), including portfolio-level framework agreements that capture Naxxar's scale; supplier due diligence covering bankability, credit, warranties, cybersecurity and supply-chain compliance.

Main Requirements & Qualifications Substantial experience – typically 15 years or more – delivering utility-scale renewable energy or battery storage projects, including at least five years leading project delivery at director level.
Owner's-side experience at a developer, IPP or utility is essential; experience at a major EPC contractor/construction company or OEM is a strong advantage.
