Japan | Global Renewable Energy Platform
Role Context
Within a globally established renewable energy platform, the Energy Storage activity in Japan is entering a critical execution phase. Several large-scale BESS projects are moving from commercial development to delivery, commissioning and long-term operation.
To support this transition, the Japanese organization is reinforcing its local structure and is seeking an experienced Project Lead who will take direct responsibility for the successful execution and long-term performance of utility-scale Energy Storage systems in Japan.
This role is designed for a professional who combines project discipline, technical credibility, and customer-facing responsibility, and who is comfortable operating at the intersection of delivery, service and internal coordination.
You will act as the reference point in Japan for Energy Storage project execution, ensuring that projects are delivered safely, on time, and in line with contractual commitments.
Your scope will include:
Taking ownership of project execution from contract award through commissioning and operational handover
Coordinating customers, EPC partners, suppliers, and internal engineering and logistics teams
Maintaining control over schedule integrity, cost discipline, quality standards and risk management
Overseeing on-site activities, including safety compliance, inspections, testing and acceptance
Supporting the establishment of local service and maintenance practices to ensure long-term system availability
Acting as a technical and delivery interface during customer discussions and tender phases when required
Capturing project feedback and contributing to continuous improvement of delivery and service processes
Profile Sought
Engineering background (electrical, energy systems, or related field)
Solid experience delivering large-scale energy, power or infrastructure projects in Japan
Exposure to energy storage systems, renewable energy or grid-connected projects
Working knowledge of BESS architecture (PCS, BMS, EMS, batteries) and commissioning phases
Familiarity with Japanese regulatory, permitting and construction environments
Native-level Japanese and professional English required for daily coordination
Chinese language exposure is beneficial but not essential
Recognized for reliability, organization, and calm execution under responsibility
Why This Role
A position of real responsibility, not a coordination-only role
Long-term perspective within a globally structured industrial group
Direct involvement in utility-scale Energy Storage deployment in Japan
Balanced exposure to projects, customers, service and internal teams
A professional environment valuing precision, trust, and continuity
Confidential Approach
This search is conducted in confidence.
Candidates motivated by responsible project ownership and long-term energy infrastructure development are invited to express interest for a discreet discussion.
