Who we are - Our Mission terralayr addresses the massive deficit in global energy storage. The over-indexing of electricity generation from renewable energy sources leads to large volatility on the energy grid. The main problem is that wind and solar farms are fluctuating and, by definition, unsteady—there is no sun at night, and it is not always windy. This increases the need for flexibility in the form of battery storage systems to balance the grid in times when supply and demand do not match. By buying and developing grid-scale storage assets and virtually aggregating them across a layer, we are creating the world's first energy cloud. Imagine AWS for energy. Through the flexibility we secure, we can market flexibility-as-a-service and hedging products/power insurance to utilities, SMEs, and industrial players and create virtual storage capacity for PV and wind farms. What we are hiring for - Your Role The Asset Manager (m/f/d) for BESS is responsible for the complete lifecycle management of our operational battery energy storage projects. This role is central to maximizing the long-term value of our assets by overseeing their technical performance and some elements of the commercial and financial performance. Drawing on best practices from renewable energy asset management, the successful candidate will manage key contracts and serve as the primary point of contact for all project stakeholders. This position requires a unique blend of technical understanding of energy systems and strong commercial acumen to navigate dynamic energy markets. To allow efficient communication with local authorities stakeholders and easy site visits the candidate can communicate freely in the German language and holds a valid German drivers license.
