Customer Project Manager

Exciting opportunity

Join us at Solhyd and make a direct impact on renewable hydrogen production.

Solhyd has developed a technology that turns sunlight and water from the air into hydrogen gas. The idea is simple: produce green hydrogen anywhere on the planet, to replace fossil fuels. Discover more about our innovative technology at solhyd.eu.

We are looking for a committed Customer Project Manager who guides our customers from the first technical discussions all the way to the successful long-term operation of their hydrogen projects.

What does this mean in practice

• You ensure customer project success over its entire lifetime.

  • You plan and follow up on project preparation, safety studies, permitting, installation and commissioning.
  • You safeguard timing, budget and quality, and keep the customer informed at every step.
  • You build relationships with system integration partners, EPCs and suppliers of downstream equipment (purification, compression, storage), ensuring our technology integrates smoothly into larger hydrogen projects.
  • After commissioning, you remain the account manager: you are the escalation point, organize periodic check-ins and spot opportunities for expansion. You work closely with our service team, who handle technical support and interventions.

• You perform project pre-studies.

  • Together with our Business Development Director, you step into customer conversations once a project starts taking shape in the funnel.
  • You visit prospects on site and translate their situation and needs into a feasible project concept.
  • You coordinate customer feasibility studies (FEL0-FEL2), with the support of your engineering colleagues.

• You guide customers through the regulatory landscape.

  • You follow up on permits and make sure regulatory or safety requirements are met.
  • You answer customers’ questions about subsidy files and RFNBO certification.

You work closely with the Business Development Director and the System Engineer in a collaborative environment and report directly to the Business Development Director.

Who you are

•  You hold a master's degree in engineering or equivalent through experience.
• At least 3 years' experience in project management, technical sales or another customer facing role is a must.
• You combine technical credibility with strong communication and organizational skills: customers trust you, and nothing falls through the cracks.
• You have experience in managing projects in the energy, chemical or process industry, and you are familiar with staged project development (FEL / stage-gate). You know what belongs in a concept study versus a basic design, and how a project matures from feasibility to execution. Project management certification (e.g. PMP, IPMA) is a plus.
• Tender experience is a strong plus.
• Affinity with regulatory topics such as permitting, subsidies or certification (e.g. RFNBO) is a plus; you will grow into the details on the job.
• You would like to work on an innovative and ambitious project that makes a sustainable energy transition contribution to the world.
• You visit customers regularly and are willing to travel within Europe, towards a few multi-day trips per month as our project portfolio grows.
• You are practical and flexible enough to work on a range of different tasks. You love a dynamic startup environment which is constantly evolving.
• You communicate fluently in Dutch and English (oral and written). Knowledge of other languages (Spanish, German, French) is a plus.
