Regional Head of EPC – Eastern Europe

The Regional Head of EPC – Eastern Europe is responsible for the overall profitability, performance, and governance of the EPC portfolio across the IT & Eastern Europe region. The role acts as the regional authority for EPC standards, controls, and operating frameworks, ensuring a consistent, scalable, and high-performing EPC execution model across multiple countries.

While Country EPC Leads retain ownership of site execution and day-to-day project delivery, this role provides strategic direction, portfolio oversight, risk governance, vendor frameworks, and continuous improvement to enable successful delivery across the regional pipeline, primarily utility-scale PV and BESS projects, with exposure to large civil construction (DC) where applicable.

Your role will encompass:

• Define and execute the regional EPC strategy in alignment with business objectives, financial targets, and innovation initiatives (PV, BESS, and potential DC).
• Own and monitor EPC portfolio profitability at regional level, including cost curves, performance benchmarks, and value optimization.
• Establish, enforce, and continuously improve regional EPC standards, procedures, HSE protocols, and quality frameworks across all countries.
• Act as the controls and standards authority for EPC execution, ensuring consistent governance and risk management.
• Prioritize and allocate regional resources (headcount, contractors, equipment) across the ~1 GW multi-country EPC pipeline.
• Own regional vendor frameworks and lead negotiations for high-value EPC contracts and strategic suppliers.
• Approve major change orders and ensure contractual alignment with actual project status and execution flow.
• Maintain and oversee a regional EPC risk register covering schedule, cost, supply chain, and execution risks.
• Monitor key EPC KPIs (e.g. cost/MW, schedule adherence, NCR rates, safety metrics) and drive corrective actions and continuous improvement.
• Enable and support Country EPC Leads through clear governance, decision-making tools, and structured knowledge transfer.
• Drive standardization, operating model rollout, and best-practice sharing across countries and project teams.
• Represent the EPC function in Investment Committees and other strategic decision-making forums.
• Ensure EPC execution aligns with internal governance, compliance requirements, and regional risk mitigation strategies.

What you bring to the role:

• Proven senior leadership experience in EPC delivery of utility-scale PV and BESS projects within multi-country and/or complex organizational environments.
• Strong track record in EPC portfolio management, profitability ownership, and regional-level governance.
• Demonstrated experience in defining and rolling out technical standards, operating models, and performance frameworks across multiple teams and geographies.
• Deep expertise in EPC execution governance, including stage-gates, baselines, change management, and risk control.
• Strong commercial and contractual acumen, with hands-on experience in EPC contracts, claims, change orders, and vendor frameworks.
• Solid understanding of PV and BESS engineering, commissioning readiness, HSE, and quality assurance requirements.
• Exposure to large civil construction projects (DC) is considered an advantage.
• Ability to manage complexity, make data-driven decisions, and influence senior stakeholders across functions and countries.
• Strong leadership and coaching mindset, with the ability to enable teams while retaining and scaling institutional knowledge.
• Willingness to travel across the region as required.

Your benefits:

• Attractive remuneration package
• Friendly and professional working environment
• Continuous training
• Cooperation, creativity and innovation: we adopt a flexible cooperation model to achieve fast results and increase productivity
