• Hands-on experience in building and optimizing operational processes, including the standardization of team workflows.
• Track record in forming and leading cross-functional teams (engineering, sales, installation, finance) and navigating matrix environments.
• Solid understanding of contract management, technical specifications, project budgeting, and profitability analysis.
• Willingness to relocate to Vinnytsia, Ukraine (a relocation package is offered).

• Full operational management of solar power plant construction projects.
• Strategic planning and execution of the business unit’s growth in alignment with market opportunities and company goals.
• Development of efficient project delivery processes: budgeting, procurement, execution, reporting.
• Team leadership: managing a 70-person engineering & installation team, sales, and procurement departments; forming new teams where needed.
• Talent acquisition and development within the unit.
• Setting and monitoring KPIs for teams and departments.
• Managing relationships with contractors, equipment suppliers, and investors.
• Ensuring compliance with quality standards, safety regulations, and local legislation.

• A full-time role based in Vinnytsia.
