How to apply for Team Lead Projektmanagement PV (m/w/d) für New Energy Großprojekte - Region Süd - 1KOMMA5° Commercial Solutions GmbH

About 1KOMMA5°

1KOMMA5° Commercial & Industrial Solutions helps commercial and industrial companies in Germany reach CO2 neutrality with New Energy systems. The company covers photovoltaics, energy storage, charging infrastructure, energy management, and network technology. This role supports that goal for large projects in the southern region.

About the role

You lead a project management team that delivers large PV projects on budget, on time, and to quality and safety standards. You also build team structures and capacity, manage risks across projects, and act as the first escalation point. The role includes stakeholder management with clients, grid operators, service providers, authorities, and internal planning teams.

A typical day

A typical day may include reviewing project status with your team, resolving escalations, and aligning with internal planning departments or external stakeholders. You may also assess risks across the project portfolio and work on building team capacity. The job is remote, so much of the day is coordination by video calls and written updates, with travel likely for Region Süd projects. Ask about travel expectations and team location during the interview.

Who 1KOMMA5° is looking for

• Has experience managing large PV projects, including budget, schedule, quality, and safety responsibility.
• Has led a project management team, both professionally and disciplinarily, and has built or scaled team structures.
• Knows energy storage, charging infrastructure, energy management, and network technology in the New Energy context.
• Can manage risks at project and portfolio level and handle escalations with clients, grid operators, service providers, authorities, and internal planning teams.

Tips for this application

• Name specific PV project sizes, locations, and budgets you have managed, especially in Germany or the southern region.
• Show both fachliche and disziplinarische leadership experience: team size, how you built capacity, and how you handled escalations.
• Use terms from the job description in your CV and cover letter: PV-Großprojekte, Budget, Zeit, Qualität, Sicherheit, Risikomanagement, Stakeholder-Management.
• State your experience with the full New Energy stack: Photovoltaik, Energiespeicher, Ladeinfrastruktur, Energiemanagement, Netzwerktechnik.
• Confirm your ability to work remotely and cover the Region Süd, and mention any willingness to travel to project sites or offices.

What to cover in your cover letter

['Your track record delivering PV large projects against budget, time, quality, and safety targets.', 'Your experience leading a project management team and building structures and capacity.', 'Your approach to risk management at project and portfolio level and to acting as an escalation point.', 'Your experience managing stakeholders such as Auftraggeber, Netzbetreiber, Dienstleister, Behörden, and internal planning departments.']

• The 1KOMMA5° group structure and how Commercial Solutions fits with the rest of the company.
• German PV regulations and grid connection processes that affect large commercial and industrial projects.

Likely interview topics

Based on the job description, expect questions about:

• How you manage a PV large project across budget, time, quality, and safety, with a concrete example.
• How you have built or scaled a project management team and what structures you put in place.
• How you identify, assess, and control risks at project and portfolio level.
• How you handle escalations from your team and from external stakeholders.
• How you work with Netzbetreiber, Behörden, Dienstleister, and internal Planungsabteilungen on New Energy projects.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Applying without showing concrete PV-Großprojekt experience, including budget, schedule, quality, and safety responsibility.
• Describing leadership in general terms instead of giving team size, structure-building, and escalation examples.
• Ignoring the New Energy stack beyond PV, such as Energiespeicher, Ladeinfrastruktur, Energiemanagement, and Netzwerktechnik.
