The posting

Are you an experienced procurement professional looking to shape the future of renewable energy infrastructure across Japan?

Join JUMBO Consulting Group as we strengthen our procurement and commercial capabilities within the rapidly growing Japanese renewable energy market.

We invite you to join our expanding APAC team. In this position, you will support leading global infrastructure investors and developers with procurement across their renewable energy portfolios in Japan. This is more than a delivery role – we are looking for someone to help expand our service offering, deepen client relationships, and play a key role in JUMBO’s continued growth.

About JUMBO Consulting Group

JUMBO Consulting Group is a specialist consultancy within the Turner & Townsend group, focused on providing strategic supply chain development and procurement advisory to investors and developers of renewable energy and infrastructure projects worldwide.

Headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, JUMBO operates globally across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Through our connection with Turner & Townsend, we combine global reach with specialist expertise in complex energy infrastructure.

As Japan continues to accelerate investment in renewable energy, energy storage, and power infrastructure, this role will be instrumental in strengthening our procurement capability across the market.

The Opportunity

We have an immediate opportunity to support key clients with procurement across renewable energy projects in Japan, including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), onshore wind, and supporting power infrastructure.

You will work on complex, high-value projects, delivering strategic procurement and commercial solutions in a dynamic market with evolving regulatory requirements and supply chain challenges.

  • EPC and multi-package delivery models
  • Utility interface requirements
  • Local contractor and supplier engagement

The role will also support:

  • Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects
  • Onshore wind developments
  • Hybrid renewable energy projects
  • Grid modernization and power infrastructure initiatives
  • Emerging energy technologies and investment opportunities across Japan

Long term growth

This opportunity provides a strong platform to:

  • Strengthen JUMBO's procurement capability in Japan
  • Expand relationships with developers, utilities, contractors, and investors
  • Support major renewable energy and infrastructure investments
  • Establish best-in-class procurement and commercial frameworks
  • Contribute to team and business growth across the APAC region

Role & Responsibilities

Procurement & Commercial Management

  • Lead end-to-end EPC and BOP procurement for energy projects in Japan, including civil works, electrical infrastructure, substations, grid connection works, and other balance-of-plant packages
  • Develop and implement procurement strategies aligned with project objectives, delivery schedules, and commercial targets
  • Manage tender processes including RFI, RFQ, and RFP activities, contractor engagement, bid evaluation, negotiation, and contract award
  • Interface closely with development, engineering, investment teams, and the Global BESS Package Manager to align procurement strategies with project requirements
  • Structure and negotiate EPC and multi-package contracts, including risk allocation, interface management, warranties, and performance guarantees
  • Support cost estimation, budgeting, benchmarking, and market analysis for local project packages
  • Ensure compliance with Japanese regulations, permitting requirements, utility standards, and grid connection obligations
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with Japanese contractors, utilities, engineering firms, and suppliers
  • Provide local market expertise and procurement support during project development and execution phases
