Job description

Vice President Project Execution – Green Volt
Location: London, Oslo or Stavanger | Permanent

Join us to power a sustainable future with offshore wind.

Vårgrønn is a fast-growing European offshore wind developer with a clear mission: to drive the energy transition through high-impact offshore wind projects. Established as a joint venture between Plenitude (Eni) and HitecVision, we operate across the UK, Germany, Norway, and Ireland, with projects spanning both bottom-fixed and floating technologies.

We hold stakes in some of the most ambitious offshore wind projects in Europe, including a 20% share in the world’s largest wind farm under construction (Dogger Bank), a 50% interest in Green Volt and Cenos in Scotland, and a 500 MW pipeline in Norway through a collaboration with Equinor. Our goal is to have multiple GW in operation or under construction by 2030, and to shape the future of sustainable energy in Northern Europe.

This is a senior leadership role, reporting directly to the SVP Projects & Supply Chain.

  • Support and mentor Vårgrønn employees in or adjacent to the JV, fostering psychological safety and strong team culture

  • Embed learnings from Green Volt into Vårgrønn’s future execution models and governance frameworks

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a senior leader with:

  • 10+ years’ offshore wind experience, including large-scale EPC/EPCI delivery across multiple geographies
