Project Manager

Key responsibilities Manage the project from requirements and design through implementation, testing, commissioning, acceptance, and handover. Maintain scope, budget, schedule, risks, resources, governance, reporting, and change control. Coordinate BESS, VEMS, PPC, network, cybersecurity, DSO, aggregator, and site-operation stakeholders. Manage interfaces between BMS, PCS/inverters, VEMS, PPC, DSO systems, and aggregator platforms. Lead requirements breakdown, acceptance criteria, traceability, design reviews, and technical decision-making. Coordinate VEMS and PPC functionality, including dispatch, state-of-charge management, active and reactive power control, ramp-rate limits, frequency response, curtailment, alarms, and fallback behavior. Coordinate DSO and aggregator interfaces, submissions, witness testing, operational trials, approvals, and issue resolution. Supervise network implementation, including switches, cabling, VLANs, routing, redundancy, time synchronization, firewalls, and secure remote access. Lead FAT, SAT, integrated, grid-compliance, cybersecurity, performance, and operational testing. Manage test evidence, deviations, defects, corrective actions, retesting, and final acceptance. Ensure complete handover of approved documentation, procedures, backups, configurations, and training materials. Key deliverables Project execution plan, schedule, risk register, and responsibility matrix Requirements and traceability/compliance matrix VEMS/PPC functional requirements and control philosophy DSO and aggregator interface plans Provide the network architecture, topology, IP/VLAN schedules, port maps, and firewall documentation as defined by the Volvo Energy D&IT blueprint Verification, validation, and test strategy FAT, SAT, commissioning, grid-compliance, cybersecurity, and performance-test documentation DSO and aggregator approval records Operating procedures, training material, and final handover dossier Qualifications and experience Experience managing complex power, automation, or control-system projects. Proven experience with requirements management, testing, validation, acceptance, and technical interfaces. Experience coordinating with a DSO, TSO, utility, grid owner, aggregator, flexibility provider, or energy-market platform. Practical knowledge of grid-connected BESS, EMS/PPC, PCS, metering, protection, power quality, and grid-support functions. Experience with end-to-end testing across cloud platforms, industrial networks, firewalls, EMS/PPC, BESS, and grid interfaces. Ability to manage setpoint priorities, operating limits, response times, availability, cybersecurity, and communication-loss behavior. Knowledge of flexibility, ancillary services, reserve, balancing, or energy markets is advantageous. Success in the role Success means achieving full requirements traceability, safe and compliant DSO and aggregator integration, successful completion of all required testing and approvals, timely closure of issues, and a complete operational handover.
