As a PV Technical Project Engineer you will support the construction of utility-scale Solar PV projects across Italy, Germany and other European countries.
The role will act as an owner-side technical support function within the Project Delivery team and will focus on constructability review, civil and mechanical execution support, technical coordination, and EPC oversight throughout the lifecycle of utility-scale PV projects from RtB to COD.
This is not a pure design engineering role and not a site management position. Instead, the position is intended for a technically strong and practically minded engineer with broad exposure to the construction of large-scale solar PV projects and a strong understanding of how engineering decisions translate into construction execution.
The successful candidate will work closely with Project Managers, EPC contractors, external consultants, and engineering teams to support technically sound and practically executable project delivery across multiple countries and project environments.
The role is ideally suited for candidates with a background in civil or mechanical engineering who combine consulting or technical advisory experience with hands-on EPC or construction execution exposure within the utility-scale solar PV sector.
