About the role

GreenPowerMonitor, a DNV company, is at the heart of the global energy transformation. We use data-driven digital solutions to optimise the performance of renewable energy installations around the world. Our work contributes to a more diverse, more sustainable global energy mix.

Are you passionate about renewable energy and eager to shape how projects are delivered?

As PMO, you will lead a team of project managers, own and define the project management framework, establish standards, and drive process excellence for the implementation of monitoring and control solutions (SCADA & PPC) across photovoltaic, battery storage, and hybrid plants. You will empower your team to ensure consistency, efficiency, high-quality delivery, and customer satisfaction.

Your key responsibilities:

  • Lead and manage the project management team, including mentoring, coaching, performance management, professional development, and fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, continuous improvement, and customer centricity to consistently meet client expectations and deliver value.

  • Ensure consistent application of risk and issue management processes, assessing impact on timeliness, business goals, and financial performance, and ensuring escalations are resolved effectively.
  • Act as the central point of contact for customer escalation management, coordinating issue resolution across multiple time zones to ensure timely outcomes and sustained client trust.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (including logistics, purchasing, IT, and engineering) to ensure alignment, smooth project execution, and the adoption of tools, automation, and methodologies that enhance efficiency, quality, and transparency.

Success in this role is measured by consistently achieving or exceeding key performance indicators—including project handovers, revenue, profitability, and cost and margin control—while effectively managing workloads, customer escalations, and proactive engagement with key customers to drive high satisfaction, operational stability, and sustained business growth.

This role offers the opportunity to lead the definition, standardization, and governance of project management for renewable energy monitoring projects, shaping project execution, influencing cross-functional teams, serving as a key customer escalation point, and developing and mentoring a team of project managers—delivering direct impact on both people and processes within a fast-growing, high-tech industry.
