This position is based in Paris, within Akuo’s IT/OT & Digital Department, at the heart of the Operational Technology (OT) team. This team plays a critical role in the design, deployment and long‑term reliability of control and monitoring systems for Akuo’s renewable power plants worldwide.
As Akuo continues to scale, the OT function is undergoing a major transformation, evolving into a structured organization built around three complementary pillars:
- Delivery, driving OT integration from project development through construction and plant commissioning,
- Operations, ensuring performance, reliability and lifecycle management of assets in operation,
- Project Management, providing end‑to‑end governance of OT initiatives across the Group.
Joining as an OT Project Manager, you will take on a strategic and transversal role, with direct exposure to complex international projects and high‑impact technical decisions.
Your role: ownership, coordination and delivery
From the earliest stages of a project, you will be a key contributor to OT strategy and execution:
- You get involved upstream, supporting project structuring, preliminary studies and OT cost estimates, working closely with local teams and senior technical experts.
- You take ownership of OT contractual frameworks, adapting them for clients and subsidiaries while ensuring alignment with Akuo’s standards.
- You drive projects end‑to‑end: leading kick‑offs, structuring robust project plans (timelines, resources, dependencies, risks, billing milestones) and contributing to technical specifications.
- You act as a central interface, coordinating internal and external IT/OT experts and working closely with integrators, contractors, grid operators and suppliers.
- You establish clear governance and reporting, ensuring reliable follow‑up of milestones, validations and associated payments.
- You secure a smooth handover to Operations, guaranteeing quality deliverables and operational readiness.
Beyond new projects, you will also lead revamping and compliance initiatives on existing power plants, addressing hardware obsolescence and technological upgrades — from cost estimation and planning to stakeholder coordination.
