About The Role
If you're passionate about renewable energy and digital infrastructure — and want to help shape the next generation of clean, connected energy systems in Africa — this role is for you.

As a Regional Project Development Manager at Green Capital, you will lead and coordinate renewable energy (solar, wind, and BESS) and Data Center developments across Southern and Central Africa.

Your Key Responsibilities

  • Coordinate and lead renewable energy and data center development activities across Sub-Saharan Africa.
  • Manage the full project lifecycle — from site identification, land acquisition, environmental permitting, and grid connection to RTB status.
  • Supervise local project managers and consultants to ensure timely progress and compliance.
  • Collaborate with technical advisors, regulators, utilities (e.g., Eskom, ZESCO), and municipalities.
  • Liaise closely with the Green Capital HQ in Poland, maintaining clear reporting and coordination.
  • Identify and evaluate new strategic locations suitable for hybrid RES + Data Center infrastructure.
  • Represent Green Capital in discussions with authorities, investors, and local communities.
  • Ensure that development complies with local regulations, environmental standards, and ESG principles.

Requirements

  • Proven experience coordinating multi-country or regional projects.
  • Familiarity with permitting, land, and grid processes in Africa.
  • Strong stakeholder management, negotiation, and public communication skills.
  • Fluent English (French or Portuguese is an advantage).
  • High adaptability and readiness for regional travel.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to manage projects independently.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in integrated energy + data center projects or hybrid site development.
  • Background with international IPPs or digital infrastructure developers.
  • Understanding of fiber, power, and cooling infrastructure for data centers.
  • Experience in multicultural, remote teams.

What We Offer

  • The opportunity to work on exciting and innovative projects in the renewable energy sector, supported by a professional and dynamic team.
  • Work on interesting and modern investment projects in the industry of the future, with the support of a professional and energetic team,
