Delivery Operations Manager (Electrotechnical)

Delivery Operations Manager (Electrotechnical)

Join nanoGrid as a Delivery Operations Manager with an electrotechnical background. Lead project delivery, improve operations, and scale smart energy projects across Europe.

We're looking for a hands‑on Delivery / Operations Manager with a strong electrotechnical background to lead our project execution and scale our delivery operations as we grow.

nanoGrid is growing fast. We design, install, and operate smart energy monitoring systems across Europe. Our pipeline is strong. Our biggest challenge right now is execution at scale.

We are looking for a Delivery / Operations Manager with a strong electrotechnical background to take ownership of how we deliver projects, from planning to commissioning.

Someone who builds structure, improves processes, and works closely with the team every day.

Important: This is NOT a COO role

This is not a corporate leadership position focused on high‑level strategy. This is a hands‑on execution role.

You will be:

• Close to the projects
• Close to the team
• Actively involved in planning, prioritisation and problem‑solving

We are looking for someone who builds and improves operations from within, not someone who manages from a distance.

Your Role

You are responsible for making project delivery predictable, scalable, and technically robust.

• technical understanding (electrical engineering)
• operational excellence
• hands‑on leadership

You ensure what we sell gets delivered on time, on quality, and without chaos.

Key Responsibilities

1. Own delivery performance

• Ensure projects are delivered on time and within scope
• Monitor risks, bottlenecks and execution quality
• Take ownership of delivery outcomes

2. Lead project execution team (hands‑on)

• Manage and coach project engineers
• Be actively involved in project follow‑up
• Support and challenge the team where needed

3. Structure and scale operations

• Define and improve delivery workflows
• Implement planning, prioritisation and resource management
• Standardise tools and processes
• Identify and remove bottlenecks
• Reduce lead times and improve throughput

5. Integrate AI in operations

• Apply AI tools in planning, reporting and workflows
• Improve decision‑making through data and AI

6. Collaborate with Technical Back Office

• Ensure strong technical execution
• Align engineering, installation and commissioning

Your Profile

Must‑have

• Strong background in electrical engineering (degree or equivalent field experience)
• Proven experience in project delivery or operations management
• Comfortable working hands‑on in a technical environment
• Experienced in leading and coaching technical teams

Mindset (crucial)

• You like being close to the work, not above it
• You are hands‑on, pragmatic, and structured
• You fix problems rather than escape them
• You bring clarity where there is complexity
• You are comfortable in a scale‑up environment where not everything is defined yet
• Experience with AI tools applied to operations, planning, or reporting
• Background in energy, construction, or infrastructure projects

If you are looking for a purely strategic or executive role, this position is not the right fit.

What We Offer

• A key operational role in a fast‑growing technology company in the energy transition
• Real ownership and direct impact on how nanoGrid scales
• Work directly with the founder and leadership team
• The opportunity to combine engineering, operations, and AI in one role
• Competitive compensation aligned with experience

What Does Success Look Like?

In your first six months, you will have:

• A clear, structured overview of all active projects
• Stronger execution discipline across the delivery team
• Faster and more predictable delivery cycles
• A more autonomous project team that solves problems independently
• The first AI‑driven process improvements implemented in daily operations
