The Electrical Engineer is responsible for the design, optimization, and technical oversight of photovoltaic (PV) systems, ensuring the efficient and reliable performance of solar power installations. This role involves working closely with project teams, clients, and suppliers to deliver cost-effective and high-quality engineering solutions aligned with industry standards and regulations. The purpose of this role is to support the successful delivery of solar EPC projects by providing technical expertise in PV system design, ensuring compliance with local regulations, and driving innovation to enhance system performance and cost efficiency.
Job Responsibility:
Assist with site assessments and feasibility studies for solar PV installations
Perform detailed PV system design, including electrical layout drawings, electrical cable loss calculations, bill of materials, electrical schematics, string configurations, and inverter selection
Assist in the performance of irradiation analysis, yield simulations and energy performance modelling using tools like inhouse Power BI solutions, PVSyst or similar
Develop in-house and/or review technical documentation and production of complete electrical engineering drawing package as well as-built drawings
Ensure designs comply with local regulations, standards (IEC, EN), and grid requirements
Provide technical support during procurement, including reviewing equipment specifications and supplier evaluations and assist in the preparation of tenders, proposals, and technical reports
Collaborate with construction teams to resolve design-related issues during project execution
Support commissioning and troubleshooting to ensure systems operate at peak performance
Optimize designs for cost, efficiency, and reliability while adhering to company standards
Support innovation in PV system designs and oversee the engineering aspects of PV projects from concept to commissioning
Serve as a technical point of contact for clients, addressing inquiries and ensuring satisfaction with delivered systems
Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers and interns and ensure cross-departmental collaboration to meet project objectives
Review and approve technical deliverables, including drawings and calculations, before submission
Stay updated on industry trends, advancements, and regulatory changes in the European solar market and represent the company in technical forums, conferences, and stakeholder meetings and support the development of internal engineering standards and best practices
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering is required preferably in Renewable Energy, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field with a strong background in Electrical Engineering
At least 3-5 years of experience in designing and implementing solar PV systems, ideally in a Solar EPC company with a focus on electrical design
Experience in large-scale utility or commercial solar projects in Europe
Strong knowledge of European grid codes, regulations, and standards (IEC, EN) and of fundamental electrical engineering theory is expected
Experience in AutoCAD, electrical schematics, and single-line diagrams (SLDs)
Proficiency in solar PV design software (e.g., PVsyst, AutoCAD, Helios 3D, PVCase, ETAP or similar)
Expertise in energy yield calculations, system optimization, and cost estimation
Hands-on experience with PV system components (modules, inverters, mounting structures)
Fluency in English spoken and written is required
Nice to have:
Familiarity with simulation and data analysis tools like MATLAB or Python is nice to have
Relevant certifications in solar PV systems (e.g., NABCEP) or health and safety (e.g., NEBOSH, OSHA) is a plus
Electrical Engineering (EE) License, Professional Engineering (PE) License or Chartered Engineer status is an advantage
Additional European languages are a plus
What we offer:
A truly international working environment with colleagues from all over the world
An open-minded, friendly, dynamic, and highly motivated team
Interesting and challenging tasks, and thus a scope of professional growth and development
We encourage both team work and personal responsibility
